Hey there!
I recently updated to Mac OS Sonoma and can't open SPSS statistics any more after that. I tried reinstall SPSS and still can't launch the app, with the same error msg "server login local computer". Does anyone have the same issue? Or solutions to fix this problem?
Many thanks!

1. Download the libplatdeb.dylib file linked on this page.
2. Close all instances of SPSS.
3. Navigate to "/Applications/IBM SPSS Statistics/SPSS Statistics.app/Contents/lib/". You can do this by opening your Applications folder, opening the IBM SPSS Statistics folder, right-clicking on SPSS Statistics, clicking "Show Package Contents", opening the Contents folder, then opening the lib folder.
4. Copy the libplatdeb.dylib file you downloaded in step 1 to this folder, replacing the existing file, when prompted.
5. Run SPSS 29 again, and it should launch successfully.
Amazing! Thank you so much. Fixed my issue immediately.
