They discovered that the new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.apple.com\/macos\/continuity\/\">Continuity Camera<\/a> feature didn&#8217;t work in MarsEdit. Instead of inserting the freshly snapped picture from their phone, it crashed the app!<\/p>\n<p>The problem turns out to be rooted in Apple&#8217;s handling of &#8220;file promises.&#8221; In a nutshell: since MarsEdit has gotten so good at accepting file promises from various apps, it&#8217;s also become vulnerable to bugs like this one, where file promise information <em>that will crash the app<\/em> is placed on the pasteboard.<\/p>\n<p>MarsEdit 4.2.1 works around this crash.
