X11 with MacOS and RDM

Hello,
I'm new to RDM and tired to call a x11 program like xclock on a ssh'd remote machine. I have enabled X11 forwarding for my ssh session, x11 forwarding in enabled in sshd.
I installed XQuartz in my Mac.
Once I call the xclock app on remote it is telling me:
"Successfully established session to Xserver" ..
but nothing happens on my Desktop. no xclock windows is appearing.
Do I miss something?
I'm running latest RDM version for MacOS.

Hello,

Thank you for the follow-up.

I believe the XQuartz application needs to be running for this to work.
Could you please confirm whether XQuartz was running during your test?

I look forward to your reply.

Best regards,

Hello,

sure, XQuartz is running in background and a XTerm is opened.

Hello,

I was able to recreate the issue on my end. XQuartz opens, but no window appears when I launch an X11 application. Is this the same behavior you’re seeing on your side?

Best regards,
