Expired certificate completely breaks macOS Logitech apps, user customizations
Even with a fix available, broken apps won’t be able to update themselves.
TL;DR
- Logitech's Logi Options+ and G Hub apps for macOS stopped functioning on Monday.
- The apps became non-functional due to an expired security certificate that secures inter-process communications.
- Logitech Head of Global Marketing Joe Santucci acknowledged the error, stating they "dropped the ball."
- Patches with updated certificates are available, but users must download them manually as the in-app updater is broken.
- Users who uninstalled the app before patching may lose their settings.
- The patch supports macOS 13 Ventura, macOS 14 Sonoma, macOS 15 Sequoia, and macOS 26 Tahoe; fixes for older versions will come later.
