VictronConnect v5.70 Update Quitting Unexpectedly With Monterey 12.4

Updated to VictronConnect v5.70 through App Store on my MacBook Pro. V5.70 is quitting unexpectedly since doing update.

Deleted V5.70 with AppCleaner & Uninstaller, removed Bluetooth settings and rebooted MBP and reinstalled VictronConnect v5.70 through App Store.

Same issue - VictronConnect quitting unexpectedly.

VictronConnect v5.70 appears to be working OK on my iPad and iPhone. MacOS is a problem - sometimes bombs out when opening a device, but always bombs out when you try to quit VictronConnect. Never had a problem prior to the V5.70 update.

My devices are BMV-712 Smart, MPPT VE.Can 250/100, and Color Control GX.

Intel or apple silicon?

Are you running any endpoint protection?

On a different note, VC still seems to be ok on mac os 13.

Don't know what Endpoint Protection is, so guess I am not running any.

Try creating a service report right after it crashed.

5.71 was just a quick fix due to problems with the new FW for the Smart Lithium Batteries.

For 5.72 is something planned for Mac OS:

Hi Matthias, I joined the beta test with Test Flight. Test Flight says that "VictronConnect can only be tested on an iOS device". How can I test it with my MBP?

Hi @kevinvh

You can download a .dmg containing VictronConnect from this website: https://www.victronenergy.com/live/victronconnect:beta

v5.72beta1 should contain a fix for the crash on macOS. 5.72beta2 does not contain this fix.

Kind regards,

I did that, but Test Flight says "VictronConnect can only be tested on an iOS device".

If you try to run it direct, then I get “VictronConnect.app” can’t be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software.

What am I doing wrong?
