Hi,
I tried to run PureBasic 6.21 on MacOS Tahoe. At first I installed the ARM version, and it opens up. I can compile a small program and that works. But if I try to close the IDE, it simply does nothing? It is also no longer responding. The window is frozen.
I tried again with the x64 version (Rosetta). Again, it starts and works but freezes completely if I try to close the IDE (close button).
I found no hidden messagebox anywhere. I had to kill them from comandline (kill <pid>) to get rid of the windows.
Is this a known issue? Or maybe because I renamed the Purebasic app in Finder -> Applications?

Do you know you can use ⌘⌥⎋ (Force Quit…)? It's on menu…

Thanks. I'm using this Mac only remote and I do not manage to press the needed keys. Anyway, a seems sufficient at the moment.
As this is a machine building release products, I will not switch to a beta version. I really do not feel good about beta versions for production builds. Unfortunatelly, Fred dropped LTS versions and so I will stay with this for the moment. The command line compiler works fine.

You can also replace the PureBasic IDE of v6.21 with the PureBasic IDE v6.30. Path PureBasic.app/Contents/MacOS
So continue to work with the compilers from v6.21.
