What's Wrong?

I updated my mac to the latest operating system last night. Now when I open the claude desktop app, it freezes immediately (I get the spinning color wheel). My only option is to force close the app. I tried restarting the app as well as restarting my computer and nothing is working.

What Should Happen?

It should work normally
