Zerotier UI not launch on macOS

Community Support macOS

Hi, I used to use Zerotier on a M1 MacBook and everything works well. Today I got a new M4 MacBook and migrated data from the M1 with Migration Assistant. Everything works well except Zerotier.
When I launch Zerotier from Applications folder, its icon shows up in the menubar for few seconds and soon disappear. If I click the icon before it disappear, its menu would open and says Waiting for ZeroTier system service....
I have tried to uninstall zerotier and reinstall, but that did not help.
I referenced this page to uninstall it: macOS FAQ | ZeroTier Documentation

As a temporary solution, I managed to make zerotier work without UI via command line sudo zerotier-cli [info|join|...]

Any idea how to fix the UI? Thanks a lot!

Update: I created another macOS user today, starting Zerotier UI from it works.

Just ran into the same issue but didn’t want to create a new account. Support chat replied with:

try deleting authtoken.secret from ~/Library/Application\ Support/ZeroTier and/or ~/Library/Application\ Support/ZeroTier/One
(notice this is in $HOME, not “/”)

Client Configuration | ZeroTier Documentation

That seems to have done the trick.
