I get the following error every time I try to open the Figma desktop app on my M1 MacBook Air, so I currently cannot use the Mac desktop app. Anyone else experiencing a similar issue?

Uncaught Exception:
TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'lastFocusedWindow')

Same issue here. The whole company cannot open the Figma app and is obliged to use the very slow browser version.

Maybe Maybe And Maybe its a connectivity issue, Try using dns or VPN to see if that help but again it’s just a Maybe

Same error here

Same problem, also M1 mac, and no, there are no connectivity issues and nothing was changed from the users side, except of trying to close figma as usual.

Looks like deleting and reinstalling the desktop app may fix the issue

I tried uninstalling and re-installing. No resolve.

Same here - identical error on iMac

12

Same here on MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2019) on MacOS Monterey 12.6.1. Does not work on VPN and off VPN. Bypassing for the time being with the Figma Beta App (which works)

13

Same error on my 2020 M1 MacBook Air, I can delete and re-download which fixes it but encounter the error again every time I restart or login to a different account on my computer.

I think it’s best to relocate this topic into bug and requires some attention.

It’s not an individual problem anymore.

@Figma_Support @Josh Please help to get this noticed.

Hello, same issue happened to me.

It seems to be happening when I try to import an image from my files in the side panel.

I need to unistall & re-install.

Might be worth noting I’m using Figma on a MBP M1 with 2 sessions, both containing Figma. Issue is happening on both.

Hey all, we just pushed a fix for this. Can you try re-downloading the desktop app to see if the problem persists?

Thanks!
