In the past couple days ControlPlane has started crashing on me pretty regularly like this:

I don't have any Bluetooth data sources configured — the only ones I have are "Sleep/Wake Event" and "Nearby WiFi Network". Has anyone else seen this? Is there a way to stop ControlPlane from crashing?

Thanks!

@nriley I have just encountered this crash in an app of mine – did you ever resolve this? I’d be grateful for any hints.

Sorry, nope! I no longer use ControlPlane — now use Hammerspoon for similar functionality.
