@sanssecours this should be fixed in v7.1.7

Unfortunately v7.1.7. still crashes with the same error message on my machine:

Hi,

I think I have a very similar problem. Cookie always crashes on startup for me too. I was able to fix the problem temporarily by removing ~/Library/Containers/com.sweetpproductions.cookie.app/ and then setting up Cookie again. However, today Cookie crashes again, even though I did not restart my computer. Anyway, when I start Cookie via CLI I see the following error message:
