codex - 💡(How to fix) Fix The codex application and extensions cannot be accessed [1 comments, 2 participants]

TL;DR

The issue might be related to a compatibility problem with the Codex App on macOS, and trying a different version or configuration could help resolve the loading screen issue.

Guidance

• Verify that the issue persists across different networks to rule out any network-specific problems, despite the user's initial assessment that network issues can be ruled out.
• Check for any updates to the Codex App or VS Code extension, as newer versions might address compatibility issues with macOS.
• Consider testing the Codex App or extension on a different macOS system to see if the issue is specific to the user's setup.
• Look into the Chinese tech forums mentioned for any potential workarounds or fixes that other users have found.

Example

No specific code snippet can be provided due to the nature of the issue, which appears to be related to application compatibility rather than code.

Notes

The issue seems to be specific to macOS, as the user mentions it works fine on their Windows system. The fact that deleting the .codex folder triggers a login prompt but doesn't resolve the issue suggests a deeper compatibility or configuration problem.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Given the information, it seems prudent to explore workarounds such as checking for updates, testing on different systems, or looking into forum discussions for temporary fixes until a more permanent solution is found.
