Based on the contexts provided, it seems that issues with Spine not launching correctly on macOS, including showing a blank screen, can be attributed to various factors such as macOS version compatibility, graphics driver issues, or specific software conflicts. Here are a few steps you can try to resolve the issue:
Check for Software Conflicts: Ensure there's no software running that might interfere with Spine. This includes display management software or any utilities that might affect graphics processing or window management.
Update Graphics Drivers: Although macOS typically handles driver updates through system updates, ensure your system is fully updated. Since you mentioned using macOS Sonoma 14.4.1, check if there are any pending updates that might address driver issues.
Run Spine from the Terminal: Try launching Spine directly from the terminal to see if any error messages are displayed. You can do this by navigating to the Spine app directory and running the executable inside. For example:
/Applications/Spine.app/Contents/MacOS/Spine
This might provide more insight into what's going wrong.
Check Spine Logs: Look for the spine.log file in your ~/Library/Application Support/Spine/ directory. This log file can contain error messages or other information that could help diagnose the issue.
Try Running in Safe Mode: Booting your Mac in Safe Mode can help you determine if the issue is caused by something loaded at startup. If Spine runs correctly in Safe Mode, the problem might be related to a conflict with another application or service.
Graphics Driver Bug: There have been mentions of bugs in Intel GPU drivers in macOS updates affecting Spine's operation. While this is more difficult to address directly, staying updated on macOS updates can help, as Apple may resolve these issues in future releases.
If none of these steps help, it might be a more specific issue related to the macOS version or the hardware configuration of your MacBook Pro. Given the constraints on providing direct support, these steps are a general approach to troubleshooting Spine issues on macOS.
