Upwork Desktop App Issue Version 5.3.3.862

[#1]

Hello Community, 

I updated the Upwork app on my MacBook Pro running on the macOS Catalina. Since its update, every time I try to run the app, a slider is displayed with features of the app, I click on next button until the last slide where I click on Got it button, the app goes blank/disappears, it stays at the dock as an open app but I am unable to check the tracker and my projects. 

If you could send me the older version link of the app so that I can uninstall the latest version and use the older version. 

Thanks

Hi Ali, 

Could you please click on the Upwork app icon on your dock. This should display the icon on menu bar. 

From there, please click on the icon, and click on the "Open Time Tracker" option to see if this will display the app on your desktop. Let me know if this doesn't solve your issue so that I can assist you further.

There is no option of any sort. Please if you have an older version of the app provide me that. 

[#4]

I tried opening the app the way you asked me to, but it does not display the hourly contracts.

Thanks for the update, Ali. Please sign-out of the app (the sign-out option is available on the app's settings) and sign back in to see if the issue persists. 

[#6]

Yeah, it's solved now. I quit the app signout and restarted the laptop.

That's good to know, Ali! Please don't hesitate to reach out if you need further help with anything.

Hi,
Thank you for the message. I just want to understand in case Upwork is
getting frequent tickets for Catalina if so is the case I wouldn't like to
take risk of updating it.

Because If I get problem in the desktop app it takes lot of pain in
reinstating to previous versions of OS. Thanks.

Hi,

I have macOS Catalina and I've been having trouble with the Upwork Desktop app. The Upwork Desktop app is version 5.4.4.1 and the macOS Catalina is version 10.15.5. Whenever it takes screenshots, it only screenshots the Upwork Desktop app itself and nothing else. When I check under Settings > Security & Privacy > Screen Recording, the Upwork Desktop app isn't even listed as an option.
