I'm running the latest Repetitions 1.824 on macOS Catalina.

I can no longer open/sync existing .SRS files with Repetitions. It just hangs until I press the escape key. The files are located in my user's home directory with 777 permissions (just to test). Also, to double verify that it's not a database corruption issue, I took a cloned database from my iPad to the Mac to compare the MD5 sums of each version, and both are the same.

I would like to say thank you to the developers for the hard work they put into the app. I switched from Mnemosyne to repetitions and haven't looked back. Cheers.

macOS Catalina seems to have broken a lot of older apps. This seems to be some sort of issue with file selection dialogs causing the app to hang. I'm hoping this is an issue on their end and that it will be resolved in the upcoming 10.15.1 update (currently in beta).

If it still isn't resolved by then, I'll look into what I can do on my end, but it may not even be worth the time or effort to investigate as the upcoming version 2.0 of the app will replace the current version 1.x.

To anyone who uses the macOS version of the app, I suggest staying on macOS Mojave or lower for the time being.
