It seems like something is still preventing that pop up and not allowing Local to proceed. Similarly with the SSL in order to make changes to the site you’ll need to be able to give Local those permissions to update the hosts file. As far as OS it’s difficult to say because you shouldn’t need to change at all.
It’s strange that you have the problem on two different Macs. Is there anything similar between them as far as apps and programs you use?
Both of the macs used are M1 Max both are from the same year but the other i tried has only one program on it. its the mac i use to dj so i only have music files and serato dj my dj program on it so im not sure
