Desktop app Mac ver login error "Unknown error has occurred" !

Hello,

I'm having signnig  in problem for like 2 days now on my IMac and gives " "Unknown error has occurred" error!
i was having the same problem with windows but after updating to the latest the problem solved but remains in OSX.

Things i've tried but ended with fail results:
- Installed latest stable and beta ( seperatly each one at atime ) .
- Tried other connections .
- Removed any installed upwork apps then restarted and installed again .
- Checked firewalls .

Here is a screen shot with terminal and using " uuuuuu " as username , it gives the same error on any input value !

Thank you .

I am having this unknown error on my MacBook. Can someone contact me to help get it resolved? I reinstalled the latest version and also tried the old version that was linked, and neither work. I have a project starting 6/7 that requires the app.
