Cannot move window to another space after updating to new version of yabai

It’s very frustrating when updating the new version of Yabai if you cannot move application windows to another space. You can follow my steps to make it work again.

• Stop Yabai service

  > yabai --stop-service
  

• Remove Yabai from Privacy & Security/Accessibility

• Reboot the computer

• Re-run load scripting addition

  > sudo yabai --load-sa
  

• Update sudoers file because the sha256 might be changed after updated the new version

  > echo "$(whoami) ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: sha256:$(shasum -a 256 $(which yabai) | cut -d " " -f 1) $(which yabai) --load-sa" | sudo tee /private/etc/sudoers.d/yabai
  

• Start Yabai service (This will prompt you to allow Yabai* accessibility permissions)

  > yabai --start-service
  

• Now, you can move application windows to another space
