Launching Leap Motion Home App is not working in macOS

I installed Leap Motion controller on macOS Catalina. The installation set up run successfully. However, when I try opening the Home APP it does not appear.

I later upgraded mac from macOS Catalina to macOS Big Sur, but Leap Motion Home APP is still not appearing/opening.

Any help?

Leap Motion not working with MacOS Monterey or M1 MacOS Ventura

Download the latest Leap_Motion_SDK_Mac_2.3.1 version here or download it directly here.

Once the software is installed you should see it in your top status menu showing like this:

enter image description here

Using terminal run the following commands:

Check if UVCAssistant is running:

> ps -aex | grep UVCAssistant

Stop the UVCAssistant process:

> killall -9 UVCAssistant

You might have to execute the command multiple times until the Leap Motion Sensor connects and the light turns green or orange

enter image description here

If the terminal command doesn't work (M1 macOS Ventura) you can use the following: Open Activity Monitor App > Select Network Tab > Search for UVCAssistant > Select Stop (Keep stopping until the Leap Motion Sensor connects)

Bonus: If you would like to use it with the BetterTouchTool you can download the btt1.921b.zip version that supports Leap Motion for MacOSX here (Direct link to my personal Google Drive)

The solution is reference here

The reason the Home App does not appear is that it is deprecated and no longer being supported on any platforms.

That said, you can still develop apps for the Leap Motion on Big Sur using the V2 SDK. If you want to explore pre-built apps, you can take a look at the Apps Gallery and use the Advanced Search to find apps that run on the V2 SDK.
