Critical bugs in latest RC in Mojave.- Monterey

bzgnyc

As mentioned the upcoming version of Orion will be the last for Mojave - Catalina and there is a request (I believe accepted) to fix critical bugs before development completely stops for the versions of Orion for those OS. Here are a few regressions in recent RC (not always sure under which version the issue first started):

-Can't access LinkedIn's Messages section -- just blanks and never responds [Mojave - Monterey]
-Can't login to LinkedIn at all - I get an unexpected error occurred [Mojave]
-Opening links in other apps (e.g. Mail) fails [Mojave - Catalina]

I reported the first one several months ago: https://orionfeedback.org/d/13552-linkedin-unusable-on-latest-rc-for-older-macos

I now can't test that issue with RC 1.0.7 on Mojave due to the second bug though not sure it exactly started with RC 1.0.7.

I now see that the 3rd one has been an issue since at least Version 1.0.6 (145.2-rc).

I expect accessing LinkedIn from Orion to work like it did back in ~ March (as well as it still does from Orion for Sonoma+). Similarly, opening links from Mail on Mojave/Catalina worked fine at least a few releases ago.

Version 1.0.7

Mojave (10.14)

FYI this is fixed with the latest Orion RC (e.g. Version 1.0.8 (147.3-rc), WebKit 619.1.11.111.2) under Catalina and Monterey:
-Can't access LinkedIn's Messages section -- just blanks and never responds

That issue might be fixed under Mojave but due to this issue I can't get that far to test:
-Can't login to LinkedIn at all - I get an unexpected error occurred [Mojave]

When I try to login with this RC (as well as recent Orion RC), I got a WebKit error and then the unexpected error as above.

This issue is also still present in latest RC:
-Opening links in other apps (e.g. Mail) fails [Mojave - Catalina]

Note both of these issues are still present in latest Orion (1.1):
-Can't login to LinkedIn at all - I get an unexpected error occurred [Mojave]
-Opening links in other apps (e.g. Mail) fails [Mojave - Catalina]

bzgnyc Please try latest Orion release, Linkedin login should work on Mojave now. Please let us know if this is still not working.

dino Thank you the circling back on this and the update! Just have time for a quick note:
-Orion under Mojave appears to be working properly with LinkedIn again with the Orion RC 1.1.2 release.
-Orion RC 1.1.2 under Mojave still does't open links when called from other apps (e.g. Mail); note that this worked for example under 127.3.

bzgnyc Thanks for confirming, now we will target this last issue next, and will try shipping this in next release.

bzgnyc Update: This should be fixed with latest RC release.

dino Hi Dino, I see a lot of Mojave-related fixes in the Release Notes and appreciate that. However, I am afraid the latest RC crashes on startup on my Mojave system.

I initially used the Check for Updates approach and that died on it's restart. Then I got the same error if I tried to start that app bundle. Then I went back to the original RC installer and it downloaded the latest but the resulting app crashes the same on startup. No change if I delete everything Orion RC under Application Support as well as the related plist in the Preferences folder under ~/Library.

I just submitted several reports through the CrashReporter -- not sure if you actually get those?

Assuming not, the summary was:
...

Let me know if this provides enough information and happy to provide any other details you need.

P.S.Is Orion now using Swift? I heard SwiftUI apps don't run on Mojave?

dino

bzgnyc on it.

dino

bzgnyc can you please share full crash report file with me please, as we checked and didn't receive any report yet. We usually get those, but for some reason we haven't received new reports from you.

Also, I tested it locally in my Mojave machine and it's working fine without any issues, so not sure what is causing that for you (full crash report will help understanding root cause). You may try latest build downloaded directly from CDN if that work: https://cdn.kagi.com/updates/10_14/151.1.zip

Orion is written with Swift since beginning. However we use AppKit instead of SwiftUI for all UI part.

dino

bzgnyc Should be fixed now, as we pushed new hot fix with the fix. Please let me know if this is still happening.

dino Hi Dino, thanks for the quick response. Yes the hotfix version looks good. No crashes in early testing.

Can also confirm login into LinkedIn and navigation works fine for me now. Also can confirm opening links in other apps (e.g. Mail) works again.

Appreciate all the fixes in this version!
