Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/PlayCover/PlayCover/issues/479

Describe the bug

When installing an app, playtools fail to install, and requires manual injection. Upon manual injection, they successfully install, but they uninstall itself once playcover is closed, or if the Mac is restarted. This yields keymappings unusable as they require restarting of the Mac for them to start working, but playtools stop working after restart, causing an infinite loop.

Steps to reproduce

Have an Mac account with at least one space in its name

Expected behaviour

Upon reopening of playcover, a warning mark will show up indicating that playtools are not installed.

Crash log

What version of PlayCover are you using?

2.0.0 alpha 2

What version of macOS are you using?

Ventura (macOS 13)

Issue Language

Yes my issue is written in English

I can't replicate this issue, and my user name does have a space on it.

Can you try again with the latest version? Many things have changed since.

I probably wouldn't try it given that changing the name of an account on a mac is pretty annoying and risky, so let's just assume it has been fixed. Macos has been updated since i discovered this bug, so has playcover, it was alpha 1 but it is the official release now.
