If this template helps then use it. If not then just delete and start from scratch.
OS (e.g. Win10): macOS Catalina 10.15.7
PsychoPy version (e.g. 1.84.x): v2021.2.0
Standard Standalone? (y/n) If not then what?: yes
What are you trying to achieve?: run a simple experiment (I can’t run anything, not even a simple “hello” text)
What did you try to make it work?: I’ve made sure the privacy settings and security options are correct, I tried running the following in the terminal, but nothing works:
$defaults write org.python.python ApplePersistenceIgnoreState NO
$ defaults write org.python.python3 ApplePersistenceIgnoreState NO
$ defaults write org.python.python ApplePersistenceIgnoreState YES
What specifically went wrong when you tried that?:
Include pasted full error message if possible. “That didn’t work” is not enough information.
When I press Run, the screen turns gray (as if the experiment would start), but then it just crashes and the following error message appears:
2021-07-09 10:17:12.719 python[64404:2690691] ApplePersistenceIgnoreState: Existing state will not be touched. New state will be written to (null)
Experiment ended.

I really don’t know what to do with this; I’ve looked into posts all over the internet, but I did not find any solution. I also don’t have any coding experience so I am a little bit lost here. I would really appreciate any help you can provide! Thank you so much in advance!
