syncthing-macos: New installation doesn't show tray icon on macOS 13.2.1 (but is running in the background)

This a followup of https://github.com/syncthing/syncthing-macos/issues/188#issuecomment-1482104140.

Recap:

  • User did download the DMG release
  • Installed it on macOS 13.2.1
  • Nothing is shown in the status bar, the tray icon is not visible
  • The ~/Library/Application Support/Syncthing/syncthing.log syncthing daemon logfile is created
  • When the Syncthing.app is clicked again, it says it is already running

As I don’t own hardware to run Syncthing on macOS 13.2.1 I’m unable to reproduce this. My hardware only supports macOS 12 or 11 unfortunatly.

Hi @abraham-chan. the notch, yeah that can be a problem… Thanks for reporting it back. Have a nice weekend and enjoy Syncthing for macOS 😉

Oh… nevermind. It turns out I just had too many icons in the taskbar and the syncthings one was hidden under the notch 😂 @joelowjw perhaps that’s the issue for you too.
