Autostart Server After Crash

1. Open the TextEdit app on your Mac

2. Copy & paste the following XML into the new text file: Note: Modify the "Program" string value to the location of your BlueBubbles.app, and/or replace {username} with your macOS username

The SuccessfulExit: false flag means that the app will not be restarted if the server exits successfully; for example, if you manually close the app.

   1. CMD + S to save the file

   2. CMD + Shift + G to open a file location
