Description

Hello there. I'm using macOS 14.1 (23B74) here.

This is the first time I'm trying to receive files in this macOS version. I was totally fine in Ventura, FYI.

Well, I get this error when trying to receive files. Please see this video demo. First, I close the app and re-run it. Then, I try to send a file to my Mac via my Android phone. My Android can find this device and recognizes its name. But then I get this "Communication error" and when I click on that, Neardrop just crashes.
