Fix a crash when reading USB 3 transport state

What's fixed

  • Crash on cable plug-in (issue #181). WhatCable could abort the moment a cable was connected, with the crash happening inside Apple's IOKit binary deserialiser while we were reading USB 3 transport properties. The fix reads each property individually instead of fetching the full property dictionary in one call, which sidesteps the deserialiser path that was crashing. Thanks to @SoundGuyAndy for the detailed report and crash log.

Install

  • Inside the app: right-click the menu bar icon and choose "Check for Updates…". WhatCable also checks for updates on its own and posts a system notification when a new version is out.
  • Homebrew: brew upgrade --cask whatcable.
  • Manual: download WhatCable.zip from this release page and drag the new .app into /Applications.
