Hi all. I recently updated my MacBook Pro to macOS Tahoe 26.1 and now when I launch Zwift it hangs up on starting the App. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the Zwift App onto the computer, but still hangs on launching the program. Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
Here is the screen that the App locks up and goes no further.
Same issue. Very frustrating that I cannot access the service that I’m paying for.
Mike, I resolved the issue by following the instructions below. Step #2 was the real cause in my case. I hope this helps.
Zwift hangs on the “Login successful” screen after you updated your MacBook Pro to macOS Tahoe 26.1, even after reinstalling and restarting.
Here are some steps you can try to fix this:
Quit Zwift completely. Then open Finder, press Command + Shift + G, enter ~/Library/Application Support/Zwift, and move the contents of this folder to the Trash. This resets Zwift’s cache and preferences.
Check your Mac’s permissions: Go to System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Privacy tab. Under “Files and Folders,” make sure Zwift has access to Documents and other needed folders. Also check “Full Disk Access” and add Zwift if missing.
Restart Zwift and try again.
I have Full Disk Access disabled and everything seems to be fine
I’m not sure if it was this, or the update that was published today, but it’s working now. Worth nothing: It was still hung up on that login screen for about 2min before working.
I currently have this problem. Freezing on the login successful screen. I have reinstalled the app and checked that all privacy settings are correct.
If I wait long enough, it seems to login. Just now I had to wait 19 mins to make it in. Something is not right with the latest version of Zwift with MacOS 26.1….
I spent almost 2 hours going through rebooting, reinstalling, router reset, tethered mobile etc after upgrading to Tahoe yesterday. Did as suggested here, restarted Zwift, seems to have worked. If this was the issue thanks!
After Bluetooth connection issues post Zwift Update a fe weeks ago and their recommendation to use BT rather than ANT+ it’s so frustrating.
Such a buggy App for the cost it seems.
