V0.5.0 SDK samples (including Depth only) on OSX 10.13 show a black window for Astra Pro

I’m using the astra Pro on a macbook pro 2017, osx 10.13.2. (The camera is connected through a TB3 dock)
With a fresh download of the sdk v0.5.0, building and running the samples results in a blank/black window shown for SimpleDepthViewer-SFML, SimpleStreamViewer-SFML and SimpleColorViewer-SFML.

It does work correctly as a webcam (via FaceTime/etc.)

Also, when I downloaded the astra repo and built the samples there, I get the same result.

Additionally, when I try to use it with openni2 in opencv3.4 (using the liborbbec.dylib and orbbec.ini from vendor/openni2/), I get the following error:

OpenCV Error: Unspecified error (OpenCVKinect: Device open failed see: 	Could not open "2bc5/0403@0/13": Failed to open the USB device!

) in CvCapture_OpenNI2, file /tmp/opencv3/opencv-3.4.0/modules/videoio/src/cap_openni2.cpp, line 237
VIDEOIO(cvCreateCameraCapture_OpenNI2(index)): raised OpenCV exception:

/tmp/opencv3/opencv-3.4.0/modules/videoio/src/cap_openni2.cpp:237: error: (-2) OpenCVKinect: Device open failed see: 	Could not open "2bc5/0403@0/13": Failed to open the USB device!

 in function CvCapture_OpenNI2

Is there anything else I can try?

Edit:
We tried on a co-worker’s Macbook pro (older) using a direct USB connection, and the SimpleDepthViewer works in that case.
He was also running OSX 10.12.6.

We then tried on my computer, but through an alternate USBC->USB3 dongle (instead of the original TB3 dock), and the depth viewer works in this case.

Long story short, SimpleDepthViewer-SFML sample should work but MultiSensorViewer-SFML and SimpleColorViewer-SFML will be black on MacOS due what sounds like an issue in the SDK for Mac. You can use UVC (webcam) if you require colorframes
