Experiencing a white screen when I open the Godmode application on my MacBook Pro.

[agarwalprashant]

Describe the bug
I am experiencing a white screen when I open the Godmode application on my MacBook Pro.I downloaded the GodMode app(GodMode-1.0.0-beta.9-universal.dmg) from GitHub onto my MacBook Pro (running macOS Ventura Version 13.6) and tried to open it. After allowing the app permission from my privacy settings in macOS, the app launched to a blank white screen and has remained like this. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the app, but the issue persists. Please let me know if you have a fix for this issue.
I was using the app without issue a few days ago, but then I toggled the visibility of two windows. Since then, the app's screen has been blank and white, and it has remained blank despite restarting the app and uninstalling/reinstalling it multiple times.

To Reproduce
Please toggle the visibility of the chatgpt and claude windows to "none" to hide them from view. Doing so will bring up a blank window that will remain onscreen indefinitely. Thank you.

Expected behavior
App should work fine and I should get the option to select the windows.
I can see other similar bug requests raised by other people as well - #264

Screenshots

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: macOS Ventura Version 13.6
• GodMode Version - GodMode-1.0.0-beta.9-universal

Is there a solution to this problem?

[swyxio]

thanks very much for this extensive report! I dont have a solution for this right now as i dont know how to reproduce this. welcome to people to investigate this as i suspect it is a bug with Electron and the automated updater process.

I have the same issues with the white screen. Have tried removing the application and installing it again with no luck

[agarwalprashant]

Even after uninstalling and then reinstalling the app, the white screen issue persists.

[coltbleu]

Yes it still persists even after un installing / reinstalling. Very strange. When I first installed the application worked great. Maybe a recent OS update affected it?

[swyxio]

i dont know the cause still as it doesnt occur on my machine

[developerisnow]

Does anybody solved it on mac m1 ? The same problem

[flavioislima]

I can replicate this on Linux using the AppImage.

@swyxio I believe that the issue is because the Electron updater cannot find a latest-linux.yml file on github so it fails to check if there is a new version for the app.

Perhaps just adding a try/catch surrounding the method that checks for the update could work. It is just an unhandled promise.

This is what shows when I open it from the terminal:

I think the latest-linux.yml is a red herring. Simply updating the packages will pull in the necessary bug fixes to overcome this issue.
