unresponsive after freezing during load
Upon running the launcher, a small loading screen usually appears very briefly. Now, my launcher freezes at the beginning stages of "updating" the launcher and I am asked to force quit upon attempting to cancel.
I have already tried uninstalling (tragic) and reinstalling, but the problem remains.

I got the same problem. This is a recent bug of some sort. My loading screen gets stuck at 95%., and then it forces me to quit.
@Sean HAnd I'm sure we're not the only ones, then. You'd think they'd be on top of something so big? Apparently it's always been a problem earlier in the launcher's history, albeit with different details, and there's a number of viable solutions that require a good amount of elbow grease (especially for a mac). I've tried them all. Getting worried/sad/agitated.
I have the same exact problem, I tried everything
I am unable to reproduce the issue perfectly. Could someone experiencing this issue upload the file at ~/Library/Application Support/minecraft/nativeUpdaterLog.txt and attach it to the issue?

MCL-12240this is happening to me too
a me ha cominciato a fare questa cosa ieri ero riuscito una volta ad entrare ma poi appena sono uscito a cominciato a rifarlo
is there such thing as task manager on mac/IOS? If there is then when you get a notification, try finding Minecraft launcher (there might be more than one) and try ending task on one of them. The game should resume loading, just like mine
P.S. I use windows so i don't know to much about mac and IOS.
The launcher should correctly handle the situation where the .version file is missing. If you happen to have this issue again in the future please feel free to open a new bug.
