Platform: Macos 15.0.1
Current behaviour
When app is launched nothing shows up on the screen, only the menu bar of the neo4j is visible
Following log line pinpoints the error
App initialization error Error: EACCES: permission denied, mkdir '/Users/{whoami}'

App is trying to create a folder in /Users/{whoami} but in my case the home directroy's name is different from the username.

Only menu bar of neo4j visible when app launched
