MacOS Tahoe 26.7 update kills Sonos desktop App

Saw this on two different machines after update from 26.6.2 to 26.7.  Sonos app launches to black window with white SONOS near top and the colorful pinwheel just spins.  Tried reinstall after deleting all caches and preferences.  Tried reinstalling Rosetta 2.  Same behavior.  Nothing in the logs - last entry shows “current network - :192.168.16.100:”.   

Anyone else having this issue?

The one I really don’t understand, is why running from the terminal works, and from the app icon doesn’t. In both OSs.

Code run from Terminal doesn’t need the Local Network permission, so doesn’t hit the bugs in that area.

    I didn’t realize that was the case. Thank you.

      Terminal command works for me, good for temporary fix:

      /Applications/Sonos.app/Contents/MacOS/Sonos

        I just installed the MacOS Desktop App shown on the following Apple Silicon versions:

        • M1
        • M2
        • M3
        • M4 

        Date stamp is 9/18/26 @ 3:38PM which I assume is PST.  The app launches with no issue! *

         * I recommend deleting the previous version before installing the new version.

          Codesigning is the issue.  The codesign fix from this reddit post addresses the issue.

          Thanks much for this! Solved the problem here on my Mac mini.

          As mentioned earlier in this thread, there was an update to the macOS desktop controller this past weekend that fixes this problem. Either select check for updates in the app, or download the new version from the download page. Build 90.0-81181.

          Download the Sonos app
