Neo4j Desktop - ERR_CERT_DATABASE_CHANGED

I got replacement for my MacBook and trying to migrate there my setup including my neo4j Desktop. However I faced a problem, rather unexpectedly. I downloaded installation image, run it but then when I open Desktop for the first time, I am getting errors while it tries to download different packages. It seems to me that it starts download but encounters problem after a while. I run a bit older version on my previous MacBook and there I did not encounter any issues so not sure if anything in application changed.

What I tried:

  • download packages using wget and URLs from log. It was fine.
  • download DBMC package using wget. It worked and allow me to create db instance.
  • set certificates for java jdk.
  • I played with different proxy settings but none of it seems to make a difference.

But none of that worked.

OS: macOS 15.2 (24C101)
Neo4j Desktop version: 1.6.1
Java:
openjdk version "21.0.5" 2024-10-15 LTS
OpenJDK Runtime Environment Zulu21.38+21-CA (build 21.0.5+11-LTS)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM Zulu21.38+21-CA (build 21.0.5+11-LTS, mixed mode, sharing)

Excerpt from log - cannot attach full log.
