MAS Helper Does not Activate After Reboot

[Milo]

Hello and thank you for a great product.

At least since Big Sur 11.1, the MAS does not come on after reboot and most of the WS dialogue is greyed out. if I click on MAS, it starts, and everything works fine. I thought, as a workaround, I could put the MASS helper in the login items, so it would start on reboot?

@milo Ive just uploaded v3.5.1 to Apple for review, and I believe it fixes this issue.

thanks for letting me know.
It should be available tomorrow.

@sweetp Hi there! I'm afraid that v3.5.1 still seems to have the problem. I rebooted yesterday and things did not work until I manually clicked on the MAS Helper.

is the MAS helper app sitting in your Applications folder next to WiFiSpoof?
and are you running in a macOS Administrator account?

[Milo]

Yes to both questions. For what it's worth, since the last update clicking on the Helper doesn't open it after reboot, I have to download it again, click on it after moving it to applications, and then it works fine.

[SweetP]

thats odd,
I cant recreate the problem. are you using WifiSpoof in an Administrator account?

[Milo]

Yes. I am using WifiSpoof in an Administrator account.

Im stumped,
it should be working. There must be something unique about your setup.
Are you able to set up a new temporary administrator account to test if it works in there.

@sweetp OK, I think I've got it. I guess I made my network a favourite. Once I changed that, it seemed to work again.

Nice!

That’s great
