The issue of Unlox crashing at launch has returned! I thought I fixed it.

It can only be fixed by deleting and re-Installing the app on iOS.

If crashing on macOS you’ll need to delete the folder at:

/Users/YOUR USERNAME/LibraryApplication Support/com.kanecheshire.macID-macOS

@uhuinfinity I’ve had some issues with it on M1 as well, I have been looking into making it more reliable recently but I know Apple have also been looking at improving Bluetooth on the M1 Macs too. Sometimes a restart of your Mac would fix that, on Intel anyway

@JavierFiction Hey, this is a bug with the API on certain Macs but I haven’t been able to fix it yet. I can reproduce it on my new Mac though, which I was never able to before, so hopefully I’ll have a fix soon

@LiamHammett Hey! You can already create URL schemes and then create a Shortcut with the “open url” action. Does this help?

@cldrenaud Hey, I’m currently working on trying to fix this for Big Sur. I’ve seen it on one of my Macs too

[Unlox (formerly MacID) @UnloxHelp]

@wstwd I’ve had this too, unfortunately this is because the Mac is firing off loads of “wake” events to Unlox even though the lid is closed. It seems to be worse lately. I might have found a way to detect if the lid is shut and ignore it, though

[Unlox (formerly MacID) @UnloxHelp]

@tanggod1 This can happen because a notification from a different app has woken your Mac, or power nap, or any number of other reasons. Unlox can’t tell whether you woke your Mac yourself or whether something else did

@apple4ever Ahh that’s a different issue. Can you try deleting the Realm file? More info here:

@apple4ever Unlox needs Bluetooth permissions and accessibility permissions but that should be all

[Unlox (formerly MacID) @UnloxHelp]

@casparant Yeah you’re absolutely correct. I thought I fixed this a long time ago but it looks like I didn’t. Thanks for letting me know!

[Unlox (formerly MacID) @UnloxHelp]

@ahmed_elhelalyy Unfortunately there’s not much more I can do to help since it’s just the system disconnecting your device, which is usually what resetting fixes. You can ask Apple for a refund because they handle payments though the App Store (and they take 30% of it for themselves)

[Unlox (formerly MacID) @UnloxHelp]

@ahmed_elhelalyy Have you already tried to reset Bluetooth as well?

[Unlox (formerly MacID) @UnloxHelp]

@barrett316 I’ve been using Unlox for months with Big Sur, the only issue at the moment is that now Unlox can’t detect any admin password requests on your Mac, but unlocking via the iOS app or Tap to Unlock currently work okay :)

[Unlox (formerly MacID) @UnloxHelp]

@DP You might need to delete the database file at ~/Library/Application Support/com.kanecheshire.macID-macOS, you can just delete everything in that directory

[Unlox (formerly MacID) @UnloxHelp]

@deejayNitro I can give it a go!

[Unlox (formerly MacID) @UnloxHelp]

@petermortier Hey! Click on he Unlox icon in the menu bar and then choose Advanced > Re-save password :)

[Unlox (formerly MacID) @UnloxHelp]

@DharmaSub Hey! If you click on the Unlox icon in the menu bar > Advanced > Re-save password, you should be able to change it :)
