I've been using FM Developer 5.5 for several months under Mac OS 10.15 and now under 10.2. Unfortunately, I experience fairly regular crashes when using the Developer Tool to make runtime solutions.

For 10.2, I wiped my hard drive clean and did fresh installs of FM 5.5, and still experience periodic crashes. After a crash, I trash all of the FileMaker-related preference files, restart, and eventually crashes disappear for a while.

I've attached a crash log on the outside chance that someone might be able to interpret what is going on.

Thanks.

I've said it once, and I'll say it again, FM 5.5 for OSX is sketchy. I can make it 'unexpectedly quit' on command (on different computers even).

To fix the crashes I'd take a look at your hardware. Could be something there but I doubt it (unless other stuff is crashing too).

If you in the mood for wasting money, you could try FM 6, I hear OSX version is a little better. Also, see if the fresh install put 5.5v1 instead of v2 on.

Thanks for the reply. The "developer tool" is really the only thing that crashes. I did put the latest update (v2) on my machine. My feeling is that it is just a bit buggy. I've had crashes on 10.15 as well as 10.2.

Take care,

Rob

Tough to say, I havn't used the developer tool in OSX (ok, i did ONCE) I didn't have problems. I'd take it to the big monkey yourself, call FM tech support
