I guess you’re already aware, but this is what I got after a fresh install of ComfyUI Desktop on an M3 Mac. Interesting how it seems to think we’re in a Windows environment?

I encountered similar issue with a fresh install. I was able to open ComfyUi from terminal but not from finder. In my case it looks like some PATH enviroment differences as the logs in “$HOME/Documents/ComfyUI/user/\*.log” indicated it was using the xcode provided binary and I hadn’t accepted their ToS yet:

Just chiming in to say accepting the new Xcode terms (which should appear as soon as you open Xcode the next time) fixed it for me as well - cheers!
