There are situations when I have some application which was running completely fine and one just fine morning, it just doesn't work, for some reason. Sometimes the configuration file is corrupted, port misconfiguration, installation files corrupted and a list can go on.In any case, you try to make it work by changing settings, installing-uninstalling, restarting but still IT DOES NOT WORK. Recently I had this situation with one SIP app which I have been using for long and even though it had its glitches it worked after a while but not this time.
I tried all solution searching from different forums but nothing. The solution came only after a "complete and clean uninstall". If you didn't know what it is, don't blame yourself. Many of us, as being mac users, we fancy going to application folder and removing an application by CMD + DEL; and most of the time it works. But some applications do have special files and service files that do not get removed with simple removal of an application file. Sometimes cleaners, like what I use CCleaners, are good in finding residual files but not always. Anyways, there are several clean uninstallers out there, but for me this free "AppCleaner" did its task.

- After installation from App-store and allowing permission to Application folder on my mac, it listed all the application installed.
- I clicked on the application which was having a trouble, it listed all folders and files related to selected application.
- I selected all files and press "Remove selected files" button.
- Then I went to "Applications" folder in finder and remove the app with usual CMD+DEL (You can also remove the main application from pro-version of AppCleaner. )
- The after secure empty trash, I restart the computer.
- Then I reinstall my app, and it just started to work as it was before.
