Logitech’s Options+ and G Hub apps on macOS stopped working after their code-signing certificate expired, leaving users unable to launch them on Apple systems.

Options+ is Logitech’s input device configuration app, while G HUB is a similar app focused on customizing compatible Logitech G gaming peripherals. Both allow setting app profiles, button remapping, lighting options, scroll wheel, and sensor sensitivity.

Multiple users reported that Logitech apps on macOS did not load, making custom gestures, mappings, and scroll settings unavailable, and forcing them to use basic input functions.

Impacted users expressed their frustration with the sudden loss of productivity-enhancing customizations, while many wasted time re-installing the Logitech apps, trying out Safe Mode, or wiping their configuration files.

Eventually, Logitech published a statement on its support portal, admitting that the issue was caused by a certificate that had expired.

Tuesday afternoon, Logitech  released new versions of the programs, warning not to uninstall the program before installing the new version.

“A new ‘patch’ installer for Logitech Options+ and G HUB is now available to fix an issue that caused the apps to stop working on macOS,”  the company explained.

“The problem was caused by an expired certificate required for the apps to run. Because the certificate also affected the in‑app updater, you will need to manually download and install the updated version of the app. Please do not uninstall the app and follow the steps below.”

Below are the instructions provided by Logitech on installing the new “patch” versions of the apps:

Options+
Step 1: Download the updated ‘patch’ installer for Options+ here.
Step 2: Double‑click the downloaded file.
Step 3: The installer will automatically close and Options+ will launch.
Step 4: Your devices, settings, and customizations should be fully restored.

G HUB
Step 1: Download the updated installer for G HUB here.
Step 2: Double‑click the downloaded ‘patch’ installer.
Step 3: Once the “software already exists” message appears, exit the installer.

For those who are unable to install the new version for some reason, users shared potential solutions online, which may have some functional drawbacks or limitations.

Some of them include setting the system date to January 5 or earlier so the certificate is treated as still valid, installing an older version of the Logitech apps and disabling automatic updates, or blocking internet access to the app to bypass certificate validation.

BleepingComputer has not tested any of these workarounds and cannot attest to their efficiency or safety.

Until you install the latest version, Logitech advises you not to uninstall the apps or wipe configuration files and saved profiles, as this will result in losing custom options when the apps are working again.
