Program doesn't run on MacOS Catalina 10.15 (19A487m)

Hi.

Im running MacOS Catalina 10.15 (19A487m).
Program starts but when I create a new project KiCad crashes. I can load demo projects and they run, which makes me suspect it’s an access issue.

I have gone into System Preferences\Security & Privacy and given KiCad.app full disk access and restarted Mac.

regards

David

You should report this on bug tracker.

I figured I would update this post as it was the first I found when searching for answers. I haven’t updated to Catalina yet but have been itching to do so. I have held off as I haven’t read anything about it working yet. I need to have KiCad working before I update.

Here is the corresponding bug I found on launchpad:
