Earlier this week, several Twitter users reported that the official Twitter app for Mac was crashing on launch. The reasons were unclear and there was not much users could do as a workaround, but luckily the latest Twitter for Mac update fixes the crashing bug.
Twitter for Mac crashes on launch
Version 19.9.21 of the Twitter app for macOS appears to fix the bug that plagued many Mac users. While the release notes don’t specify what’s new in the update, testing by 9to5Mac show that the application no longer crashes on launch.
With the previous version, the application crashed immediately after opening. In some cases, it was silently crashing after a few seconds or minutes. The bug was not related to any specific Apple software, as it had impacted users of multiple versions of macOS, including the latest macOS Ventura beta.
Some users were able to reopen the Twitter for Mac app after deleting and reinstalling the app. However, the fix was temporary and the bug reoccurred after some time. Fortunately, everything seems to have been fixed now.
Twitter for Mac is available for free on the App Store. It requires a Mac computer running macOS Big Sur 11.0 or later.
