Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/PlayCover/PlayCover/issues/1761

Describe the bug

Using macOS 15.1.1 and PlayCover 3.1.0 (856) and version 17.7.1 of the Netflix app from both the recommended sources, the app opens but after the Netflix loading animation, displays a loading spinner only.

Steps to reproduce

Using PlayCover 3.1.0 (856) [edit: same issue using nightly 952] and version 17.7.1 of the Netflix app from both the recommended sources, install the app and note that the app opens but after the Netflix loading animation, displays a loading spinner only. A box to allow Netflix to access data from other apps appears after a while or when closing the app, but does not do anything when allowed.

Expected behaviour

The app should show the login screen

Same problem here, since upgrading to MacOS 15.1.1 Sequoia. Used to use Netflix 16.12, which crashes on start over PlayCover since the OS update. Tried several combinations of Netflix apps and PlayCover versions:
PlayCover 3.1.0 with Netflix 17.7.x 17.9.x show the above mentioned infinite loading screen with a popup saying "com.netflix.Netflix wants to access your local data" (which doesn't make so much sense for a sandbox app). Hope there is a fix out there!

Yeah, the same. Spinning indicator while running sequoia and latest versions of both apps.

It seems it's not solved :(
Anyone trying to make it work?
