Correct path is ~/Library/Application Support/Kodi

@Memphiz - I've amended the original post to include these instructions. What you didn't include is how users can notify developers of the link to their files (may be obvious to you but not a lot of users). I included this too. I'ts also far more efficient to ask users to send you the folder containing the .db files, instead of asking for a specific range of files as most users are not developers. Cheers
@Rechi - I have amended the OP to include your suggested method for locating the correct folder. Cheers
Peace

They are not files nor are referred to as files in the instructions. These are folders in a file destination path. Each title in between the / / is a folder title. Use the finder window to click into each folder in order.

Folders, yea. I clicked in each until the Application support, no folder inside it by either names. Could you look into it more @b7000? Thank you

So strangely I appear not to have either a
~/Library/Application Support/XBMC
or
~/Library/Application Support/KODI
directory even though I've got the same symptoms as above. Any ideas?

I restarted Kodi but I guess he redownloads the corrupted file
In that case see step 8. above.
Delete all files with addonsxx.db. So addons27.db, addons26.db, addons20.db.....
Restart Kodi to rebuild the databases
This worked perfectly - thanks

STEP-BY-STEP SOLUTION - Kodi 17.1 Krypton fails to launch in Mac OSX - Memphiz - 2017-04-18
@jenesanne34 and those files contain the state before you did the workaround mentioned here in this very thread for sure? Because there seems to be an addons27.db in there already (which means you have run krypton successfully already i guess)

RE: STEP-BY-STEP SOLUTION - Kodi 17.1 Krypton fails to launch in Mac OSX - Memphiz - 2017-04-21
Damn - i looked into reproducing the issue with the files kindly provided by jenesanne34.
Sadly there was no way for me to get it into the crashing condition.
I tried.
1. Wiped my Kodi directory in Application Support
2. Started Kodi 16.1 to generate a clean Kodi directory in Application Support
3. closed Kodi 16.1
4. Copied all database files from jenesanne34 but not Addons27.db
5. Started Kodi 17.1
6. Nothing bad happend - Addons27.db was created and worked
7. Started Kodi 17.1 a dozens of times - no crash.
So the databases might only be a part of this annoying behavior. No idea how to further investigate.
Someone who has this issue would have to provide me the complete Kodi folder from Application Support before(!!!!!) applying the workaround here.
