Bug #12362
Darktable does not start on Mojave (MacBook Pro)
0%
Description
I have installed Darktable via DMG file as well as with HomeBrew. On both I cannot start Darktable.
After starting Darktable ist starts to "jump" in the Dock, and after a while it stops jumping, and just stay in the dock. Clicking on the Icon in the dock does not open Darktable. Right-click on the icon in the dock, I can only end it immediately.
Any ideas how to get it started

Updated by Hi,
I'm using Mojave as well and darktable is running great on my system. Have you tried launching darktable from Terminal to see error messages that could happen ? See manual for debug options.
Another thing to try if you use an antivirus is to disable it and try launching darktable again.
Think about saying here what happens with that as it could help developers to improve darktable for mac.

I'm getting exactly the same issue.

False alarm..... after I left it running a while I found I had a hidden window asking about erasing existing settings to get a performance upgrade. I think this window had no decoration on it, so the window manager just left it at the bottom of the window pile all the time. If you didn't clear the desktop of windows, you didn't see it.
