SketchUp Pro 2025 freezes on launch after reinstall – Mac M1 Sonoma – SSL errors

MacBook Pro M1
macOS Sonoma
SketchUp Pro 2025 (latest version)

I accidentally deleted SketchUp Pro and reinstalled it.

Since reinstalling, SketchUp freezes immediately on normal launch.

It only opens when launched from Terminal using the disable hardware acceleration command. If launched normally, it freezes.

I switched to Classic Graphics Engine.
Set MSAA to 0x.
Disabled hardware acceleration.
Still freezes on normal launch.

Terminal log shows repeated:

SSL handshake failed
CRL verification failed
net_error -107

No VPN active.
Date and time correct.
Private Relay off.

Is this a known issue related to authentication or certificate validation after reinstall on Apple Silicon?

Thank you.

Is it a cr acked version of SketchUp 2025?

I am not sure what you mean? I downloaded it from the official site.

The truth is I asked chat GPT to help and he said trying to open it through Terminal, that worked but the software on it’s own doesn’t… :frowning:
It was working perfectly before and by mistake I deleted it, now cannot get it back

It’s possible that an earlier issue put SketchUp.app into quarantine, after which it’s normal to be able to launch from Terminal, but not from the app itself.

You could try this line in Terminal, and see if you can open SketchUp normally after that:

xattr -d com.apple.quarantine  /Applications/SketchUp\ 2026/SketchUp.app
