Not launching on start

[claudiorodr]

Checks

• I ran q doctor in the affected command line session and it didn't resolve my issue
• I ran q restart and it didn't resolve my issue
• I searched the discussions in this repo and there are no duplicates of my issue

Expected behaviour

When having the "Launch on Start" setting turned on I expect to start Amazon Q automatically whenever I restart the computer.

Actual behaviour

Whenever I restart my laptop I need to manually start Amazon Q, even though I have the "Launch on Start" setting turned on.

Steps to reproduce

Hey, can you check the contents of ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.amazon.codewhisperer.launcher.plist? It should have the contents:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">

Hey @brandonskiser,
it seems like my ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.amazon.codewhisperer.launcher.plist is currently empty. Should I create manually?

You should be able to delete it and it will be recreated when the app launches.
