Device: 24inch iMac M1 2021
macOS Ventura 13.0 (build 22A380)
BOINC 7.20.2
wxWidgets 3.1.5

Running Milkyway@Home

I upgraded my OS yesterday and I left the machine to run BOINC for the night, and I woke up to this error message:
"boincscr quit unexpectedly."

I made sure I had the most recent BOINC installed and I have.

The error report says this:

Anyway I am wondering what is up and how do I fix it?

I have exactly the same problem: M1 iMac 24 with Ventura. My wife's 21" iMac runs Boinc with no problems.
Any help out there?

It's recurring every time the screen saver engages too, so it isn't an intermittent problem.

I am trying to run boinc_7.20.2_macOSX_universal on a Mac mini with an Apple M1 chip running MacOS Ventura 13.0 (recent upgrade). I have been running Rosetta@home. I had been running boinc_7.16.21_macOSX_universal on the previous version of the macOS without problem.

When boinc starts screensaver graphics I get the following which has been reported to Apple.

Thanks everyone so far, I have forwarded this to our developer for the Mac.

Edit: Charlie is seeing this as well and will be looking into it. May take a few days though, so in the mean time, don't use the screensaver on MacOS 13.

Situation Update: I have spoken with the developer about this. He's been putting a lot of work into it getting it fixed, but it isn't there yet. We ask a little more patience.

Charlie Fenton, Mac dev wrote:

Fixes BOINC screensaver and Manager "Show Graphics" button functionality to work with MacOS 13 Ventura. This also required a different implementation of security to prevent access to user's files in the unlikely case of malevolent or buggy project graphics apps.

As of MacOS 13.0 Ventura IOSurface cannot be used to share graphics between apps unless they are running as the same user, so the screensaver can no longer run the graphics apps as user boinc_master or user boinc_project. Similarly, project graphics no longer work if run as user boinc_master or user boinc_project when run from the Manager's Show Graphics button, though I don't fully understand why.

As a result, they now must be run as the logged in user, creating a potential security risk. I have implemented a technique to block access to the user's files and other sensitive directories based on an API that Apple uses extensively but has marked deprecated because it is an Apple private API. Apple warns it has deprecated the API because the syntax used to specify the access restrictions one passes to this API is subject to change without notice. But the syntax has remained unchanged for many years, this API is used widely in Apple's software, and the security profile elements we use are quite basic and so are very unlikely to change. I can find no other way to provide this security.

I have built a new hot fix release for the Macintosh only, BOINC 7.20.4. The only changes from the previous 7.20.2 release should be to fix the "Show Graphics" functionality in BOINC Manager and to the screensaver under MacOS 13 Ventura. Please download and try BOINC 7.20.4 and let us know if you find any problems.

If you have access to run older versions of MacOS, please test that "Show Graphics" and the screensaver still work properly there.

Note: I have noticed that some World Community Grid graphics apps appear to be buggy. They sometime work and sometimes don't, both with this new version 7.20.4 and the previous version 7.20.2, so that problem is not due to these changes in BOINC.

Thank you,
Charlie
