Description

Whenever in Ice settings or in the menu bar (after clicking Ice icon), it shows "Unable to display menu bar item" instead of icons.

Steps to Reproduce

Update to latest dev pre-release, launch Ice and try to open the second Ice menu bar.

App Version

0.11.13-dev.2

macOS Version

Version 26.0 (25A354)

Additional Information

0.11.13-dev.1 works almost okay, except Siri is lying in Ice and not getting out of it, and it suddenly puts anything inside Ice on the first launch. I'm still investigating further but I only have limited experience of developing on mac, so if there is a way I can e.g. extract a log file or do some tests, pls feel free tell me

Just a bit of notes.

  1. dev-1 version doesn't show up "Unable to display menu bar item".
  2. dev-2 version does move any other icons, so I see other icons disappearing from the menu bar.

Can confirm this is still present with macOS 26.0.1 (25A362)

I am experiencing this as well...but the odd thing is that I am running Ice in two different user profiles on the same Mac and it is only happening in one of them.

I get this with both dev-1 and dev-2. This makes the app entirely useless to me. I've tried uninstalling & reinstalling, removing & readding permissions, etc., but nothing seems to fix it.

Same issue for me. Raised it in #711 and someone else also opened it in #716

Same issues for me on dev-2, anyone has found a solution?

Same issues for me on dev-2, anyone has found a solution?

Going back to dev.1 worked for me, but then whenever I move something in the menu bar, I get an "Operation Timed out" error.

It's frustrating because I don't actually like the way Barbee or Bartender function/look.

anyone has found a solution?

In my case (macOS 26.1 Beta (25B5072a), Ice dev-2), right-clicking on the chevron still works. Then I pick Quit Ice, launch it again, and then expanding in Ice once again works.
