[Gsbrt]

Sonic Pi not booting in macOS Sonoma.

• I try to boot Sonic Pi version 4.5
• which macOS version did I update from? I´m pretty sure it was Monterey
• Intel

I am also getting this error on macOS Sonoma (Apple Silicon - M2):

Apologies, unable to start...

When I run the command manually it seems to work fine and doesn't crash:

Hi, could you try the recently released v4.5.1 and let me know if that helps things?

Hi Sam,
this new version works, thanks a lot. Also, I did manage to get Sonic Pi running again by removing a corrupted wacom driver. I gave the update on the Sonic Pi forum but not here. Sorry!!!
