Operating system
macOS 27.0.0 (26A428)
Expected behaviour
Description
On macOS 27.0, kiro-cli doctor reports "Input method is not running",
and the input method cannot be enabled because it never appears
in System Settings > Keyboard > Input Sources.
Environment
- macOS: 27.0 (Build 26A428)
- Terminal: Ghostty
- kiro-cli version: 2.24.0
Doctor output
✘ Input Method: Input method is not running
Attempting to fix automatically...
Re-running check...
✘ Input Method: Input method is not running
Steps tried
- Ran
kiro-cli integrations install input-method.
System Settings > Keyboard opens, but no Kiro / CodeWhisperer
input source is available to add.
- Verified the symlink exists and points to a valid path:
~/Library/Input Methods/CodeWhispererInputMethod.app
-> /Applications/Kiro CLI.app/Contents/Helpers/CodeWhispererInputMethod.app
The target exists (contains Contents).
- Logged out and logged back in.
- Checked Input Sources > "+" > "Others":
CodeWhisperer is still not listed.
Expected behavior
CodeWhisperer input method appears in Input Sources and
kiro-cli doctor passes.
Actual behavior
The input method is never registered by macOS,
so autocomplete cannot work.
Notes
All files appear to be in place, so this looks like a
compatibility issue with macOS 27's input method registration.
Actual behaviour
kiro-cli doctor
Steps to reproduce
No response
