Why am I unable to generate a support key on macOS?

An issue has been identified by our engineering team for users being unable to generate a new support key (create a new support session) using GoToAssist Remote Support v4.7, b1673 on macOS.

Issue

When attempting to create a new support session on macOS, users are reporting that the session becomes stuck at loading (spinning cursor) and eventually times out without generating a new support key.

RESOLVED:Please update to the latest version (v4.8, b1692) of the GoToAssist Expert desktop app.

Note: If continuing to use v4.7, b1673 of the GoToAssist Expert desktop app, please use the Workarounds listed below.

Workarounds
