[BUG] Pearcleaner shows no available apps (home-brew) for one macOS user #602

Open

Description

@Hannez23

New Issue Checklist

  • I updated Pearcleaner to the latest version and still observe the issue

  • I searched for existing GitHub issues

  • OS Version: 26.6.2

  • Pearcleaner Version: 5.4.3


Issue:

Pearcleaner does not detect or display any available applications (homebrew) for one macOS user (hannes), while it works correctly for another user (admin) on the same Mac.

The affected user can access and list applications in /Applications normally via Terminal. Full Disk Access is also enabled for Pearcleaner.

The issue persists after:

  • Reinstalling Pearcleaner

  • Removing Pearcleaner's user cache

This appears to be a user-specific application detection issue.

Steps:

  1. Log in as user hannes.

  2. Launch Pearcleaner.

  3. Pearcleaner shows no available applications (homebrew).

  4. Log in as user admin on the same Mac.

  5. Launch Pearcleaner.

  6. available Applications (homebrew) are detected and displayed correctly.

    要显示可用应用需要这样做,首先打开Pearcleaner,然后点击左侧的菜单栏,选择更新程序,这时候可以显示可用app,再切回应用程序就行了

    (user "admin" shows the files)
