ANSWERED MacOS 15.3 & Eddie 2.24.6 - Connect/Disconnect Loop

[Th3Shm00 0]

After updating iMac Pro 2017 to MacOS 15.3 today I noticed the update for Eddie, installed it and now get the Connect/Disconnect loop that others have mentioned. I tried the "sudo chown root" command I saw in other threads and got a notification that Terminal didn't have authorization so I adjusted that and tried again. I can't tell if it worked though because after entering my password it went back to the usual prompt state, no 'success' or other response message (I'm not all that Terminal savvy). Restarted the machine and Eddie still gets stuck in the loop (log attached). I've reverted to v.2.21.8 for the time being. Any thoughts?
Thanks

Hello!

Please try again to change ownership of the following file:
/Applications/Eddie.app/Contents/MacOS/wireguard-go

The critical error is that Eddie will refuse to run with root privileges binaries or scripts not owned by root. It is an important security feature. From a terminal where you can gain root privileges and owned by a user that can gain root privileges, please enter the following command:

sudo chown root:wheel /Applications/Eddie.app/Contents/MacOS/wireguard-go

Kind regards

This didn't solve the problem for me on macOS 15.3.

Hello!

Please re-check the ownership of any file to verify that Eddie detects it correctly and that you really changed the ownership to root. From a terminal:

sudo ls -l /Applications/Eddie.app/Contents/MacOS

If you see that the file Eddie complains of does not belong to root, then Eddie is right. Proceed to change ownership of any other file if necessary. If in doubt please send us the output of the above command.

Kind regards

After running the chown on wireguard-go I still got the error. Looking at the new log results I saw that wg was the new problem. Doing the chown on wg seems to have solved the problem. Thank you!
