Thanks for reporting this, @bizocci.

We've been getting emails from other learners in the support inbox about this. Others running macOS v12 or older are unable to use the exam environment, and just see a blank page when the open up the application.

I expected the bundle to support >=10.13.

But, we might use an api <=12 do not support. I will dig more on this front.

I have not been able to debug anything useful from this. Our logs suggest we have multiple users with >=10.15.7 who successfully use the app.

@bizocci Would you mind downloading a staging release of the application, and seeing if anything useful shows up:

I have the same issue. Have tried the Exam.Environment_1.4.0-rc.0_x64-debug.dmg - the same, the blank window.

Same issue. I downloaded the debug environment and upon inspection it shows invalid regular expression: invalid group specifier name on line 1478 of index-Ca4QIMET.js Not sure if that's what's causing the blank screen but it's the only error to come up with inspect element.

@Mark-Orban Thank you. That is useful information. That sounds like the version of Safari is too old. Can you confirm this is for MacOS?

@ShaunSHamilton Hello, yes I'm running MacOS version 12.7.6 on a refurbished 2017 MacBook Air. My safari version is Version 17.6 (17618.3.11.11.7, 17618).
