    I had the same issue and I opened a ticket with LMI support. They gave me a script to run in Terminal and it worked perfectly! Figured I would share to see if it works for anyone else.

     

     

    rm -rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/LogMeIn-Rescue $ rm /tmp/lmi.txt ; CX_LOG=/tmp/lmi.txt /Applications/LogMeIn-Rescue.app/Contents/MacOS/LogMeIn-Rescue >>/tmp/lmi.txt 2>&1

after updated to Catalina 10.15.6 LMI Rescue app is not working, we have enabled support LogMeIn Rescue app in Accessibility and screen recording but not able to control the Macs. 

Tried to add manually but its not working, not able to add in Accessibility and screen recording.

any solution for this?

    I can confirm there is an issue with LogMein Rescue and  Mac OS 10.15.6 ... same thing as the way people describe it in the post. 

     

    with older versions of Catalina like 10.15.4 there's no issue..

      OK, so is LMI now taking the position that Rescue is no longer supported for Mac OSX 10.15?  That's  huge for us.

        SteveinMD1  Rescue is fully supported on Mac operating systems, and we are currently working with Apple to identify the security triggers necessary to allow full functionality.  I apologize that this is taking longer than expected.

    Hi shri

    How many Macs is this currently affecting?

    Have you re-installed the Rescue endpoint software to troubleshoot?

        Having the same issue. Can't control but Support-LogmeinRescue is already checked under Security & Privacy > Accessibility and Screen Recording. The Support-LogmeinRescue box is frozen and can't be unchecked/rechecked so their is no way to control the users Mac.
