"Apply" button not working for macOS

This issue is reported a few times, but I cant find any solution. The cursor “apply” feature never work on my mac. it will create the new file with no content. For editing existing files, it will have the “Working in Progress” loading but nothing will be added.

I’m using macOS Sequoia 15.3.2, M1 Pro 14"

Cursor version is

Hey, does this also happen in a new chat?

yes. this happen in both new and existing chat

Is there any chance the file is in your .cursorignore?

no. its a new project, without any .cursor file or .cursor rules yet.
on the same project, i can generate and apply normally using a windows + WSL2 machine. just not my mac machine.
I wonder are there any security permissions that cursor need in order to work in mac

Seems to solve it myself, I do a clean remove of all cursor folders in /Library/Application Support/Cursor & ~/.cursor
Then install cursor without importing any vscode extensions, then the apply works likes now.

I think its either 1 of the extension causing some conflict with applying changes or its the clean installation.
