After restarting my computer, Automatic Removals are always paused - Cookie 7.2.7
-
Using Cookie 7.2.7 purchased from the App Store. Cookie confirms that I have an Active Yearly subscription on the License tab in Settings. I have quit the Cookie app and then gone in to ~/Library/Containers and removed the two Cookie containers but that has not stopped the behavior from occurring
I set Cookie to run as a Background app
Two problems I have seen:
- Automatic Removals are always paused after a computer restart. License confirmed active when looking at Settings
- On one machine, Automatic Removals are always paused but this is because the Subscription status is greyed out - I am not able to subscribe, and I need to force quit Cookie from Activity Monitor and then restart in order to see the correct subscription status
This behavior has reduced since the 7.2.4-7.2.7 updates, but still occurs
-
All of my Macs are on 14.4.1. Additional note to problem 1 - as soon as I logged in after restart, I opened the Cookie app. It said that I needed to Purchase Cookie in the upper right corner and I was unable to turn on automatic removals . After waiting a few more seconds for it to load, I saw that the purchase status cleared and I was able to turn on automatic removals
It's as if it is starting up before my Mac gets internet, and since it doesn't think there is an active subscription it turns itself off?

saw this after a restart today. the purchase screen doesn't include any plans. Force quitting the cookie app (since it is run in the background) and restarting fixes the issue, and then I need to reenable automatic removals
-
I also have the issue where it sometimes isn't starting after a reboot/upgrade, but also I will walk away from the computer and when I come back it isn't started. I do have 2 WAN connections into the house - not sure if that is contributing. But very rarely see the license issue, just that it isn't enabled.
Can you perhaps add in an optional warning that people could turn on where there is a popup that it is paused? I have the icon on the screen, but don't think to notice its status. Or could the icon optionally blink if Cookie is paused?

7.2.9 has fixed the issue for me, thank you!
