Description
Atom 1.28.0 fails to start on OSX 10.10.1
Steps to Reproduce

Expected behavior: [What you expect to happen]
App to launch as usual
Actual behavior: [What actually happens]
-
When started from Finder/Spotlight, a popup window appears which states
Atom cannot be opened because of a problem. -
When started from the command line with
/Applications/Atom.app/Contents/MacOS/Atom, the error text is:
dyld: Symbol not found: _CIDetectorTypeText
Referenced from: /Applications/Atom.app/Contents/MacOS/../Frameworks/Electron Framework.framework/Electron Framework
Expected in: /System/Library/Frameworks/QuartzCore.framework/Versions/A/QuartzCore

Reproduces how often: [What percentage of the time does it reproduce?]
100%% of the time; unable to start Atom normally
Versions
The Atom version commands are not working. They cause the “Atom cannot be opened because of a problem” popup to appear.
I downloaded the latest version of Atom (1.28.0) and replaced my previous installation with it, but the result was the same.
OSX Yosemite 10.10.1
Additional Information
-
I have tried re-downloading Atom and reinstalling it, which made no difference to the error
-
I have tried removing
~/.atom, which made no difference -
I have tried restarting my system several times
-
The issue seems to have started after two instances of the program opened following a system restart, but both hung and had to be force quit. Googling the specific
dylderror message I receive in the console yields no relevant results.
Same here on OSX 10.10.5, except I don’t see a popup – Atom 1.28.0 just silently fails to open.
Downgrading to Atom 1.27.2 solved it for me.
I can also confirm that reverting to 1.27.2 is working for me (with my original
.atomfolder). Thanks for this suggestion.The link for the OSX version is https://github.com/atom/atom/releases/download/v1.27.2/atom-mac.zip.
Worked for me as well, but there is a gotcha: if you have autoupdates enabled it’ll only start once. So essentially what you have to do is to
1/ download Atom 1.27.2
2/ unzip it
3/ launch it
4/ disable auto updating
5/ delete the previously extracted Atom executable
6/ unzip it again and move it to /Applications
Running on MacOSX 10.10.5:
Atom 1.28.0-beta0 works
Atom 1.28.0-beta1 works
Atom 1.28.0-beta2 works
Atom 1.28.0-beta3 works
Atom 1.28.0 crashes
This issue is resolved in #17620, and we’re actively working on publishing this fix as part of Atom 1.28.1 and Atom 1.29.0-beta1.
Once those releases are published, Atom should once again run on OS X 10.10.x.💦
Atom 1.28.1 and Atom 1.29.0-beta1 are now available and should resolve this issue for anyone using Atom on OS X 10.10 Yosemite. Additionally, if you’re seeing this issue on OS X 10.11 El Capitan or macOS 10.12 Sierra, please give this update a try and let us know if you continue to experience the problem.
I can confirm this is working for me on OS X 10.9.5👏
