Description

Version and Platform (required):

  • Binary Ninja Version: 3.6.4591
  • OS: macOS Sonoma
  • CPU Architecture: M1

Bug Description:
Binaryninja appears not to wait for plugins to load before launching and opening a file via some means other than its own UI.

Steps To Reproduce:

  1. Pin binaryninja to your dock, close it, then drag a file onto the icon

alternatively, my old workflow:

  1. open -a "BinaryNinja" ./somefilename

Witness no valid views showing up and the open with options window appearing before any other UI.

Expected Behavior:
This is a regression from when views were in core and they would properly load in time. It will also break things for anyone's external plugins.
