TL;DR

The issue with the Claude desktop app not working on macOS can be troubleshooted by examining the environment details and error messages provided, and potentially downgrading to a previous version of Claude Code that was known to work.

Guidance

  • Review the provided images of environment details and error messages to identify any specific error codes or clues that could indicate the cause of the issue.
  • Since the issue is reported as a regression, compare the current version (2.1.123) with the last known working version to identify potential changes that could be causing the problem.
  • Attempt to reproduce the issue on another computer or environment to see if the problem is specific to the current setup.
  • Consider reaching out to the development team or community for further assistance, as the issue may be related to a known bug or incompatibility.

Notes

The lack of specific error messages or logs in the provided text makes it difficult to provide a more targeted solution. Additionally, without knowing the last working version of Claude Code, it's challenging to pinpoint the exact cause of the regression.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Given the reported regression, trying to isolate the change that caused the issue or seeking assistance from the development team might be the most effective next steps, as there's no clear indication of a straightforward fix.
