Logic Pro shows as not installed after running scripts

I had a script created with Claude to have a count in metronome while in playback mode, not recording. Claude had me create a folder in music apps folder, and gave me the scripts to run in terminal. Everything was going as planned. Finally, it asked to restart Logic Pro, when I clicked on the Logic Pro icon it immediately showed the icon with question mark on top of it indicating that Logic Pro is not installed on the computer! What happened? According to Claude, it had nothing to do with the scripts.

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 26.6

It sounds like Claude got it wrong. Imagine that.

Modifying the code of an Apple app is a violation of the license. Your attempt to rewrite Logic's rules for the use of the metronome appears to have corrupted the app.


Delete your current Logic Pro application and empty the trash.

Sign into the App Store and download a fresh copy of Logic Pro to reinstall it.
