'MacOS: Unable to run MySQL Workbench
I have been trying to run MySQL workbench on my macOS Catalina 10.15.2 for a long time now. I have been using MySQL from the CLI. But recently when I tried to switch to the workbench, there has been some issue with the launching of the Workbench Application.
MySQL server works well from the CLI. But whenever I try to open the workbench, it opens and closes automatically within seconds. I have tried installing the older version of the workbench and also tried reinstalling the whole SQL server. None of it has helped me so far. I even tried searching the issue, but most issues are related to the crashing of the application or failure of connection with the database.
I have even tried running the application from the command line and also "open in low resolution". But none it has worked for me :/
It'd be very helpful if someone could help me out.
Thanks!
MySQL server: 8.0.19, MySQL Workbench: 8.0.19

Downloading the 8.0.22 version from https://downloads.mysql.com/archives/workbench/ worked for me, (Im using macOs Big Sur version 11.1)

I was having a similar problem (the workbench not launching) until I clicked on the link to the version 8.0.22 of the mySQL workbench posted by Hando and it works. I use MacOS Catalina. This is the link again https://downloads.mysql.com/archives/workbench/

yes, version .22 worked for me as well. I did get a 'security' error but was able to go into preferences security/privacy, and 'allow' this app which was NOT loaded from the apple app store.
