Re: EA App for MAC won't even Launch

My EA app is doing the same thing. I click on it, the icon bounces a couple times in the dock...and then nothing. It does not show up in the Activity Monitor. Nothing shows up in the Menu Bar. I haven't even received an app crash pop up like others have. It just shows up in the dock for a few seconds and then goes away. I've tried everything that you've posted in all of these threads and not a single thing works. I'd like to play my game that I've sent 

You made a post telling us to enjoy a "more reliable experience" and told us that our "transition to the EA app is hassle-free" and it's literally been the exact opposite. 

I'd REALLY like to play my game that I've spent over a thousand dollars on so can we please get some answers besides "clear your cache" and "download and install a new copy"????

Me too! I've tried all the recommended options but nothing is working. Why can't we just have a working Origin app while EA tries to fix this.

@quickdrw, All good. 😉 About the Terminal commands: It's also not something I really like having to suggest using, but it unfortunately sounded like it was needed in this case. (I'll also remove it from my post now just in case.) Still, I'm glad it helped.

For the rest: I'll be closing this thread as OPs issue has been resolved. If you're experiencing the "The app crashed unexpectedly" or "Background Services Crashed" on the EA app for Mac, please go here: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues-Mac/Mac-EA-app-quot-The-app-crashed-unexpectedly-quot-or-quot/m-p/13725926#M657.

Thanks.

im getting the exact same error, it bounces once and never opens. I've been waiting to play the game and suddenly, boom, can't even open the app.

Same thing happening to me. I think I’m gonna delete it and install it again 

My mac found the answer by showing me the EA Launch Helper! Use it if deleting/reinstalling doesn't work, cuz it worked for me and its doing pretty well...

I just spent like 5 hours watching and reading tutorials to try to fix this freaking app bouncing and not opening and the EA Launch Helper is what finally worked! Thank you!!
