MLB iPad app updated, still broken on the Mac
Our weeklong baseball nightmare…. continues? As I recounted on opening day, the MLB app for iPad—which works on the Mac and is great to have!—had stopped working on the Mac. Turns out it was a little more complex than that: it worked until you logged in, at which point it stopped working.
In any event, MLB updated the app and I was happy to report that it worked on my Mac again… for a single launch. Unfortunately, the next time I launched the app, it crashed.
The only solution for Mac users for now seems to be: when you want to launch MLB, go to Finder and choose Go to Folder from the Go menu. Then type ~/Library/Containers and press Return. Within the Containers folder you’ll find an MLB folder, which you must delete! Then launch MLB, click through the setup screens, and whatever you do, don’t quit the app or you’ll start this process all over again.
C’mon, MLB tech folks. Sort this out.
