Description: I have updated and JRE to the latest versions. Nevertheless LO asks me to install the latest JRE version. Steps to Reproduce: 1. start LO 2. activate address assistant 3. mark macOS address book as source Actual Results: I click the warning's OK button and can use LO except for setting up an address book file. LO crashes when I tap the Continue button in the assistant window Expected Results: The address book file is recognized and data can be used to configure and feed the new database. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: All software components are uptodate.
@EB : which JRE are you attempting to use ? In theory, LO on macOS requires a JDK.
No repro for me with LO6304 and Oracle JDK11

The adress book definition wizard works fine for me with : Version: 6.3.0.4 Build ID: 057fc023c990d676a43019934386b85b21a9ee99 Threads CPU : 8; OS : Mac OS X 10.14.6; UI Render : par défaut; VCL: osx; Locale : fr-FR (fr_FR.UTF-8); Langue IHM : fr-FR Calc: threaded and Oracle OpenJDK 12.02
The extracted JDK folder needs to be copied over to /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/ For example, on my system, I have the following JDKs installed, all of which are recognized by LO under the Advanced settings of Preferences : jdk-9.0.1 jdk-9.0.4 jdk-10.0.2 jdk-11 jdk-12.0.2 jdk1.8.0_102 jdk1.8.0_121 jdk1.8.0_144 Of course, I can only select one of them from the Advanced dialog in LO Preferences. You also need to check that the "Use a Java Runtime Environment" box is ticked at the top of that dialog.
Tnx for your kind help. I have installed the missing JDK and the error screen no longer appears. I also verified if everything is where it should be. All OK. But I cannot link to my Mac address book : when I tap the continue button, LO crashes and automatically reopens the menu window. I then checked another external source which seems to work since it takes me to the next steps. What is wrong here? How should I proceed?

FWIW, only set to fix if code patch that fixes problem has been identified and verified. Setting WFM.

This didn't work. LO offers only the choice of 'MacOS Address Book'and it seems to me that LO has problems since I can start the reset procedure but without any result.
