.dmg installed from https://download.delta.chat/desktop/v1.36.0/

i double checked and re-downloaded and re-installed - same error. after downgrade to 1.34.5, things are working again (still smooth downgrades, that's great!)

let's see if my attempt at a hot fix works: c7e9f7b

[Simon-Laux]

please reopen if it does not work with https://download.delta.chat/desktop/v1.36.1/
