Graph App 'Neo4j Browser' is damaged and can't be opened. Please re-install the app

Hi, Everyone I have come around with an issue regarding error which I got when today I got update of Neo4j Desktop. After Update my Neo4j browser is not working. It say the following error "Graph App 'Neo4j Browser' is damaged and can't be opened. Please re-install the app." I also re-installed Neo4j desktop still getting same error. Can anyone help me out to resolve this issue. I tried some googling but the suggestions didn't fit for my cast.
Gracias and Regards: Siraj Munir (Neo4j Lover)

I think there is something wrong with the latest update :roll_eyes:

It's definitely a bug. Stay tuned for a another update fixing this.

The "Graph App 'Neo4j Browser' is damaged and can't be opened. Please re-install the app.
" error is still occurring on Version 1.1.17 (1.1.17.839)

I am also getting this error with the Version 1.1.17 (1.1.17.839). I have tried to reinstall, closed all browsers, restarted machine etc.

I too have run into this issue. I downloaded and created my first graph yesterday...used the browser for a few hours. Today, after restarting neo4j, I receive the error about the damaged browser. I see no way to resolve the issue, so I am now dead in the water. Sad. I'm running on Mac OS Mohave 10.14.3. Here's a screenshot...notice the spinner below the Browser in the list of Apps.

Hi,
Unfortunately, it is not solved: I installed today the neo4j desktop system completely after this error message ("Graph App 'Neo4j Browser' is damaged and can't be opened. Please re-install the app." ). I removed all directories with neo4j. Then, it startet properly. Nevertheless, I stopped my server and restarted it now and get the message again.
What the real solution of this problem?

Nope. Nada. Nyet. 1.1.17 (1.1.17.839) is not the solution. Graph App 'Neo4j Browser' is damaged and can't be opened. Please re-install the app.

This should be unmarked as "solved." It is not.

I’ve only had the latest version installed. Tried reinstalling. Same error when starting the browser. Software is unusable in this state.

I installed Neo4j Desktop in Windows 10 yesterday. Because of this error, I uninstalled and reinstalled it, then the error occurred again after awhile. I am using the version 1.1.17 in Ubuntu 18.04 now, and it seems OK. I've had no problem since yesterday.

EDIT: I'm getting the same error in Ubuntu right now.

Hi,

I've met same problem, and find workaround.

  • Start database from Neo4j Desktop(Windows 10 + N4JD 1.1.17)
  • Open http://localhost:7474 on your browser(Chrome, Firefox, etc) instead of Neo4j Browser

For you who it's not working for in Desktop v1.1.17: What version of Neo4j Browser do you have installed?
If you're on the latest (neo4j-browser v3.2.18), go to the Desktop data folder and try to delete the Application/graphApps/neo4j-browser folder and restart Neo4j Desktop and see if that makes a difference.
