Hi! I understand the "Tonight" feature in your Sky app on your Mac is crashing when you tap the link. Let’s get that sorted out for you.
Just to be clear before we start: Are you running the Sky app as a desktop app or using it through a browser on your Mac? Also, have you tried any troubleshooting steps already, like restarting the app or your Mac?
Meanwhile, here’s a step-by-step approach we can try for your OS X 10.15.7 system:
1. Force Quit and Relaunch the App - Press Command + Option + Esc to open the Force Quit window. - Select Sky and click Force Quit. - Then reopen the app and see if the “Tonight” feature works.
2. Clear App Cache/Data Some app features can get corrupted if cache files are damaged, causing crashes. Unfortunately, on macOS, this can be a bit manual: - Quit the app completely. - Open Finder, then press Command + Shift + G to open 'Go to Folder.' - Enter ~/Library/Caches and look for any folders related to Sky. Delete those cache folders. - Relaunch the app and try again.
3. Check for Updates/Reinstall the App Sometimes the app’s “Tonight” feature crashes due to a bug in the current version. Reinstalling the app with the latest version often fixes this: - Delete the current Sky app from your Applications. - Visit the official Sky website or App Store to download and install the latest version compatible with macOS Catalina (your 10.15.7 version).
4. Restart Your Mac After reinstalling or clearing cache, a simple restart helps reset background processes that might interfere.
If the crash persists after these steps, it could be a compatibility issue or a bug with this specific feature version. Let me know your results after these steps, and if needed, I can look into any known issues or escalate for deeper troubleshooting.
Are you satisfied with this plan to get the “Tonight” feature working again?
