Empty message box during firmware update

[brevilo]

Version: 2.3.3 OS: macOS 14.7.1

When updating the firmware the device reboots into bootloader mode. At that point a second message box appears. Apart from an exclamation mark, Cancel and OK (default) buttons, no message is shown. Hitting OK continues the update but I'd really like to make an informed decision :) I could reproduce this with a second device.

Also, after a first firmware update any subsequent update (same or other device) doesn't show the please-confirm-by-touching (at the start of the process) message anymore.

Cheers

Thanks for the report! The empty message box is a known problem in v2.3.3, see the release notes, and can be ignored safely.

Yep, I figured that's the one. Feel free to close the issue.

I think it’s not fixed yet so I’d keep it open for the moment.

thx for the report @brevilo - you are on Mac, could you share how you installed the nitrokey-app2 ?

PyPI (#289)

oh nice, thx forgot about this issue - can you elaborate how exactly ? pipx? maybe even somehing like a ELI5 for other mac users? I'd like to add this here as a usable installation way for mac.

Always Pipenv 😎

ELI5s:

• Install

  mkdir nitrokeyapp
  cd nitrokeyapp
  pipenv install nitrokeyapp
  

• Run

  [cd nitrokeyapp]
  pipenv run nitrokeyapp
  

• Update

  [cd nitrokeyapp]
  pipenv update
  

Hope this helps
