Issues opening ExtendScript ToolKit CC on Mac OS

[sydfill]

I am having issues opening ExtendScript Toolkit CC on Mac OS. It was working one day, and then two days later stopped working. I'm using it with After Effects as well. I tried opening it manually, and it still didn't work. I tried to uninstall and re-install it, and nothing worked. I can't open any files that are involved with the ESTK. I ran my computer in safe mode, but there were still issues with it. I changed the permissions with it. No one else in my class is having this issue. Does anyone have any solutions?

For me it actually stopped working too (at the day when I had to give a presentation about Ae scripting at the Keyframes Conference, perfect timing...)

Instead of finding a fix, I completely switched to using VS Code with the new Adobe extension for it. In the long term, it will replace ESTK anyway. See here for details:

I ended up uninstalling ESTK again and completely purging it from my computer and then reinstalling it, and it worked like a charm! But I will probably transition into using the ESTK debugger with VS Code!
