OneDrive broken on macOS 10.15 Catalina?
I noticed my OneDrive sharing options were missing, and that the icons were also missing from the top of the screen. Rebooting and reinstalling haven't helped. Something trashed by TM backup the othe...
Yes the Console is showing OneDrive version 23.061.0319 instead of the installed 23.054.0313. Does anyone encounter the same issue?
Yes. I downloaded the pkg using the link above. Removed OneDrive. Ran package install. It let me get as far as entering my account info, then crashed. Crash report in Console shows version 23.066.0326 instead of the one that is supposedly listed above. Properties on the app also show 23.066.0326 (Dated March 30, 2023). If the old version did actually install, it didn't stick around very long and was replaced by the updated version.
- Due to the App will force user automatically update, I also have tried several time to reinstall previous version. None is working with Catalina. It's really odd and annoying and I may say Microsoft is an act of irresponsibility to fix this bug/error. Or They just discontinued OneDrive for Mac OS Catalina without any announcements or warnings!
Charlie47 I found a workaround: when launching the app, kill the process named OneDriveUpdater (e.g., `sudo killall OneDriveUpdater` in the terminal). This stops OneDrive from updating itself. OneDrive should normally execute then.
I also removed all stuff containing "update" from the OneDrive package. Not sure what will happen after rebooting, but it is working now.
- That didn't seem to work for me, but I will try again. My killall command never found any OneDriveUpdater processes. Perhaps my timing was off a bit. Will try again in a couple days when I have more time to work on it. ATTN Microsoft: This is time I shouldn't have to be spending on a workaround. Grrrr.
