…and other assorted messages and prompts as you open CheckBook or CheckBook Pro on macOS 15 Sequoia.
This issue should be resolved by macOS 15.1. Please check for updates and let us know if you still see this after the macOS 15.1 update. Thanks!
Some folks who’ve recently upgraded to macOS 15 Sequoia have let us know they’re seeing a message stating CheckBook or CheckBook Pro needs permission to open their Accounts document, with an accompanying I’ll click the Allow button, followed by a window where they can click the Allow button, followed by yet another message stating the document is no longer accessible. It’ll give you the chills, as if your data is at risk, but there’s no reason to panic: the Mac is giving the application mixed signals about whether it can access the last document you opened, triggering CheckBook’s system for handling when the document is well and truly no longer accessible. It’s overreacting, because the document is both accessible and not at the same time, but it’s enough to allow you into your document so you can get back to work. So you’re not really in a pickle, but it still annoys you every time it happens.
And, according to Apple’s engineers at https://forums.developer.apple.com/forums/thread/764435, it’s going to annoy you a bit longer, potentially until macOS 15.1 is released sometime in October. Since this affects the Mac’s ScopedBookmarkAgent, you can expect related issues in any sandboxed application from any developer, like failure to automatically reopen documents or empty File > Open Recent menus. Apple’s advice is to restart when the issue arises, temporarily getting ScopedBookmarkAgent back on its feet…until it happens again.
We’ll let you know if we come up with any kind of workaround in the meantime before macOS 15.1 hits. Thanks for hanging in there!
