Big Sur Beta problem
What OS?
- [ ] Windows
- [X] Mac
- [ ] Linux (Which distro?)
Description of issue
the app does not work in Big Sur
What in particular is happening?
Are you getting a blank screen like with #195 ?
The app does not open. In the dock it appears indicating that it is open but no window is shown and it consumes 99% of CPU.
Attached is the error report.
I'm sorry for the late response. I just now got time to look into this.
Some questions.
- Was this working before, and then after upgrading to Big Sur, it no longer does?
- Or was this a fresh installation?
- Did a previous version work, and you upgraded the app, and now this new one doesn't?
- Does running it from the command-line version work?
/Applications/PacketSender.app/Contents/MacOS/PacketSender --version
- What language is your computer set to? I've heard of problems happening when not using English.
Thanks again.

Any progress? Same problem.
Unfortunately, no. I have had no time this month to work on this project. I am hoping to have more time in November.
Bug recreated.
This will require some digging. I have a theory of the problem. I may need to have a Big Sur-only release.
Test attempt 1.
Will one of you please download and give this a test? https://packetsender.com/PacketSender_v7.1.0_bigsur_test1.dmg
If it doesn't work, I have another idea to try.

It works.
Thank you very much 🎉 !
Thanks for helping me test. I added the installer to GitHub releases and updated the packetsender.com download page. Both installers will be shown until the next general release.
