Mesh Problems on macOS Sequoia

[JxnLexn]

Area of Concern

• Server
• Behaviour of one or more Modules [provide name(s), e.g. ObjectDetectionYolo]
• Installer
• Runtime [e.g. Python3.7, .NET]
• Module packages [e.g. PyTorch)
• Something else

Describe the bug
As soon as i turn the mesh functionality on, CodeProject does not start any recognition/processing etc. it just outputs "No predictions returned"
There are no errors in the log, but also no signs of anything (f.e. that the recognition was started)
Also in the Web UI under mesh "Active", "Broadcasting" and "Monitoring" are false.

Expected behavior
It should work in a mesh as expected.

If you click the 'start' button what happens?

Have you tried allowing CodeProject.AI through the firewall (or turned the firewall off to test?)

When i click the start button, it just almost instantly shows "No prediction returned" (although objects are recognized when Mesh is off)
And yes, i did try to disable the firewall completely, same thing happened..
