ipfs-desktop: macOS 10.x fails to start with Error (no message)

I opened IPFS Desktop when a windows jumps out reading “IPFS node has encountered an error and startup could not be completed:” and macOS also tells me the application has some problems.

How to solve?

Specifications

OS: darwin
IPFS Desktop Version: 0.20.2
Electron Version: 17.1.0
Chrome Version: 98.0.4758.102

I confirm that IPFS Desktop v0.20.4 fixed the problem even for High Sierra! 👍 Amazing job!!!

Verification Env Info

IPFS Desktop:
- Downloaded from latest releases page.
- IPFS Desktop Version: 0.20.4
- Agent: go-ipfs v0.12.1 desktop
- UI: v2.15.0
OS:
- macOS HighSierra (OSX 10.13.6, 17G14042)
Hardware:
- Mac mini (Late 2012)
- CPU: 2.6 GHz Intel Core i7
- Mem: 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
- GPU: Intel HD Graphics 4000 1536 MB

Additional info:

SHA-512 checksum of go-ipfs

$ pwd
/Applications/IPFS Desktop.app/Contents/Resources/app.asar.unpacked/node_modules/go-ipfs/go-ipfs
$ ls -l
total 107744

Checked points before install.
- No ipfs daemon process is running.
  - $ ps aux | grep ipfs
- Is ENV variable “IPFS_PATH” set?
  - yes. IPFS_PATH="/Volumes/EXT_SSD/IPFS_DATA"
- Is files under IPFS_PATH empty?
  - yes. All backed up and removed.
- No ipfs command(go-ipfs) installed.
  - $ type ipfs --> -bash: type: ipfs: not found

Thank you all, this is really useful. Seems that there is a problem where Electron (ipfs-desktop) spawns go-ipfs:

2022-03-23T13:56:45.028Z error: [ipfsd] start daemon Error:  

  

 Command was killed with SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault): /Applications/IPFS Desktop.app/Contents/Resources/app.asar.unpacked/node_modules/go-ipfs/go-ipfs/ipfs daemon --agent-version-suffix=desktop --migrate --enable-gc --routing=dhtclient

    at processTicksAndRejections (node:internal/process/task_queues:96:5)

crashed on child side of fork pre-exec

My gut feeling would be Electron bug, or that the binary at /Applications/IPFS Desktop.app/Contents/Resources/app.asar.unpacked/node_modules/go-ipfs/go-ipfs/ipfs is corrupted, but we would have to confirm that.

@MattJohnsonMusic @mlgx Would it be possible for you to upload that file somewhere, so we can compare sha512 checksums, just to confirm/refute this hypothesis?

Attaching Combined.log and Error.log. Hoping that helps figure this out:

I’m on 10.15.7 and I have the same issue with versions 0.19.1 and 0.20.3. Versions 0.18.1 and 0.17.0 work fine. Go-ipfs 0.12.0 also works. Removing .ipfs and .ipfs-desktop folders doesn’t help.

Here is a complete crash report: https://gist.github.com/mlgx/c4b984046a03b1597fd8609274f1eae7

IPFS-Desktop should not force updates. It makes reverting to an older version impossible.
