Yeah, I never use Migration Assistant when I set up a new Mac. I get it can be a good thing but I like to install my apps from scratch and start with a clean slate.

How about starting clean again with Origin then EA App? Use my link that you did before to manually trash the EA App files then trash the app itself, also use this to trash the Origin files and trash the Origin app - https://bluebellflora.com/how-to-uninstall-origin-on-a-mac/

Then re-download and install Origin, making sure to allow all permissions when prompted. I always disable the options when launching Origin for the first time (automatic login at launch, automatic game updates). Launch Origin then migrate to EA App when prompted 🤞

@Bluebellflora I tried this a few times, unfortunately the same thing keeps happening with the EA app. I tried chatting with EA and they said they’re aware of the issue and to stay tuned for updates so I guess there’s not much I can do :/
