Issues Loading Inkscape on macOS Sierra (Version 10.12)
I have version 0.91 of Inkscape (installed 64bit version) and xQuartz version 2.7.11.
I have used Inkscape on this computer before without problems but now it won’t load (program goes to not responding). I start xQuartz first because I read something that said I should, but that didn’t help.
I’m assuming this has to do with the OS since nothing else had changed (I don’t remember when I updated to macOS Sierra, so I’m making a wild assumption here). To be safe, I did remove and reinstall xQuartz and Inkscape (in case something had become corrupted) but that didn’t fix the problem.

If you've re-installed, then it may be necessary to give explicit permission for it to open the first time. Right click (or control-click) on the Inkscape application icon in the Finder, and then select "Open" from the menu there.

In case the previous tips don't help, take a look at this FAQ item: https://inkscape.org/en/learn/faq/#inkscape-fails-launch-os-x-108-and-later
