Oh wow you are amazing thank you so much for pointing out NSLog!! I am brand new to OSX and apparently there is a little triangle at the bottom left of the device manager that shows the console. I am not sure if I enabled it in Xcode → preferences or if it was there all along. It’s showing now and that’s what matters. Now I have an actual error to work with!
The error begins right after “Network Actor Spawned”:
NSLog output txt file
It looks like
"Transport Security has blocked a cleartext HTTP (http://) resource load since it is insecure. Temporary exceptions can be configured via your app's Info.plist file."
is the source of the problem. It looks like the HTTP request was blocked and is causing a crash. What do I need to do to my Info.plist file to allow this?
