Can't make Amethyst work on macOS 10.12.6

[hantuzun]

System

• Amethyst version: 0.11.4
• macOS version: 10.12.6

What's the problem?

I can't make Amethyst work at all.

I'm trying to use Amethyst on both my MacBook and my freshly set up new iMac. Following the documentations, I can't Amethyst work on any of my machines.

How can it be reproduced?

Install amethyst through brew, give it accessibility permissions, enable Desktop shortcuts, and even restart your machine. Then, try to cycle between layouts with option + shift + space or another shortcut.

What applications are involved?

Amethyst trying to layout Chrome, iTerm, Sublime Text, Preferences, Activity Monitor, and Finder.

Has anything fixed it, even temporarily?

No.

@hantuzun did you ever get this working? Could you look to see if there any crash logs?

Same issue for me after installing Amathyst using the Homebrew cask on a fresh 10.12.6 installation.

It sort of works for me on 10.12.6, but it's rather finicky. I'll report back on how it goes when I upgrade to High Sierra...

@jcrben Did you manage to get it to work on High Sierra? I installed it and like no shortcut is working at all ...

Has anyone tried the newest beta version?

If this is still an issue can I see the output from

$ /Applications/Amethyst.app/Contents/MacOS/Amethyst --debug-info

I am facing the same issue. It was working fine, and all of a sudden it stopped working
