Hi I get this error when I try to open the program

A JavaScript error occurred in the main process

Uncaught Exception:

High Bug

Just to note for repro reasons, I've used Kap before (and had it installed until I installed the beta) and this error still happens to me.

This fixed it for me:

cp -r ~/Library/Application Support/Kap/ ~/Library/Application Support/Kap Beta/

Sorry for the trouble. This is a bug in the latest beta, occurring if you have not used Kap before.

A temporary fix is to download the latest stable release of Kap, run it once, delete it, and then download the latest beta and it should run successfully.

@karaggeorge To reproduce this, delete ~/Library/Application Support/Kap and yarn start.
