Unable to load Preferences LC 9.6.9rc3 and Levure 9.0.5

[bob at bobhall.net]

I'm wondering if anyone might be able to help me out. I’m trying to use LC 9.6.9rc3 with an app built with Levure. With LC 9.6.9rc2 I am able to open the app in the IDE with no issue.

When I try to open the app with LC 9.6.9rc3 I get “An error occurred while initializing the application [unable to load external Preferences]”. I’m tracing through the Levure script now and can see in fact the Preference stack is not being loaded. I’ve confirmed Preferences.bundle is at the location referenced in the script.

Can anyone steer me in a direction for a fix to this?

Thanks in advance,
Bob
