Oh! I think you're not on macOS 10.15 Catalina right? I didn't know this could be an issue. I disabled the new Catalina-added permission checks on older macOS versions, but I guess the way this private API links doesn't work well with that scenario!

Really sorry about the issue! I'll look into it! It's tricky for me because I don't have a mac with an older macOS handy though.

Thank you for the great quality report! The image and logs are super helpful

My pleasure! You're correct: I am on Mojave.

Hey @gingerbeardman, could you please tell me if that build here start on your system? I tested on a 10.14 VM, and it seems to fix the issue! 🥳

I released a new version that hopefully fixes the issue on macOS 10.12-14. If it's fixed for you, can you please close the issue? 👍

Perfect! Many thanks.
