WWDC: The app freeze everytime it's launched

For the first time I launched the app, it displayed a spinner, and there was no way to quit unless than using force quit. For the second time and so on, it displays the last displayed video, and just stuck there. The app becomes unresponsive and I can’t click anything in the window.

I’ve tried to clear the data in ~/Library but it still doesn’t work after reinstalling.

Thanks, clean using ./cleardata.sh is works for me too.

I tried to reproduce the issue, but could’t make the app freeze on startup

What I did:

  • removed existing db and plist files (‘io.wwdc.app’ folder and ‘io.wwdc.app.plist’ file)
  • copied the provided files
  • checked out 5.1.1, compiled and run
  • checked out 5.1.2, compiled run
  • checked out 5.2.0, compiled run
  • checked out master version, compiled and run the app worked on all stages, I even tried step by step debugging to make sure that the migration was actually being executed

Maybe, it’s not just the database
