Fix crash on launch on macOS 14 (Sonoma) - #90
Merged
Conversation
Defer NSStatusItem creation from property initializer to applicationDidFinishLaunching. On macOS 14, SwiftUI creates the @NSApplicationDelegateAdaptor before the window server (CGS) connection is established, causing an assertion failure in CGSConnectionByID when NSStatusBar.system.statusItem is called during AppDelegate.init().

Summary
SIGABRTinCGSConnectionByID) affecting all macOS 14.x (Sonoma) users.Problem
The app crashes immediately on launch on macOS 14.x — the status bar icon never appears and the app silently terminates. Confirmed by multiple crash reports from App Store Connect on macOS 14.6.1, 14.8.2, and 14.8.3.
Crash stack trace:
Root Cause
NSStatusBar.system.statusItem(withLength:)was called as a property initializer inAppDelegate, which runs duringinit(). On macOS 14.x, SwiftUI creates the@NSApplicationDelegateAdaptorbefore the window server (CGS) connection is established.NSStatusIteminitialization requires a valid CGS connection to register notification handlers, causing an assertion failure →abort().On macOS 26, SwiftUI establishes the CGS connection earlier so this happened to work — but it was never safe to call during
init().Fix
Defer
NSStatusItemcreation from the property initializer toapplicationDidFinishLaunching, where the CGS connection is guaranteed to be ready.func applicationDidFinishLaunching(_: Notification) { AppDelegate.shared = self + self.statusItem = NSStatusBar.system.statusItem(withLength: NSStatusItem.variableLength) self.setupStatusItem()Summary by cubic
Fixes a launch crash on macOS 14 (Sonoma) by creating the status bar item after the app finishes launching. Sonoma users can now start the app and see the menu bar icon.
