Drafts for MacOS Not Opening After Update

Issues
1

To preface, I’m running the Sonoma beta. After Drafts was updated a couple of days ago (I’m excited to try the new Nested Tags), it’s not opening on my Mac, crashing within the first several seconds.

Have taken the following troubleshooting steps:

  • Restarted computer
  • Deleted and redownloaded Drafts
  • Deleted Drafts with AppCleaner (grabs app files not always deleted otherwise) and redownloaded
2

Update to the release candidate version of Sonoma. Final release builds are not compatible with old macOS beta versions.

I don’t think Apple is automatically offering the beta update to people running the Sonoma public beta, you have to go check for it.

I don’t have any crash logs from you that are obviously from you in any of those places - but macOS 14 (23A5301g) is not the release candidate build of Sonoma. You have to update to the release candidate. You are on public beta 2 which is from July and very old at this point.

You can find a history of build numbers on WIkipedia. You should be on 23A339 or greater.

Thanks lesson learned I did not have PUBLIC beta selected so it was not updating. All working now.
