I’ve been trying to download the new version on my macOS 10.15.6 but I’ve been receiving this message.
I made sure to uninstall the previous versions but I’m still getting this error. I’m not sure what’s happening, is anyone else facing similar issues?
Am I correct that the editable textboxes cannot be used for online studies yet?
I’m on Mojave (macOS v. 10.14.6) but I get the exact same error when trying to open PsychoPy v 2020.2.2. I also removed my previous PsychoPy installation prior to installing this new version. I haven’t experienced this error at all previously. @jon Unless other Mac users come in and describe that things are working fine, maybe it’s best to set psychopy.org to recommend installation of 2020.1.3 for the time being?
Edit:
When I try the Open Console button there is a whole bunch of messages so I’m not sure what’s relevant to PsychoPy and what’s not. These error messages however look like they might be related:

Sounds like PsychoPy is trying to set preferences outside of its own container (I’m guessing that’s kind of like the app’s scope?).
Edit2:
I just downgraded to 2020.1.3 and I can launch it like usual, I don’t see anything off. Maybe there’s something about the way you enabled keyboard input for the editable textboxes in 2020.2 that requires certain permissions and that Macs with default/certain settings don’t like? This is just pure speculation though.
Having the same issue here with 2020.2.2, Mac OS 10.14.6
I’m also having an issue opening 2020.2.2 on OSX 10.15.6
Seems to fail around these lines in the console log:

I was wrong about those lines causing the failure. More console output to the github issue that’s been opened: https://github.com/psychopy/psychopy/issues/3060
I am also having this same issue as johaernus with the latest version. It is my first time installing PsychoPy on my Macbook air (Catalina 10.15.6)
