Error when activating plugins in QGIS 3 on MacOS X?

Question

I'm a user of QGis, but this is the first time that I have it installed in a MAC (Sierra 10.12.6). I just installed the new version and I'm trying to install the plugins I usually use. OpenStreetMap gives me the following error:

Couldn't load plugin 'openlayers_plugin' due to an error when calling 
its classFactory() method

I've read that we should move to QuickMapServices, but when I activate that plugin, I have the same error:

Couldn't load plugin 'quick_map_services' due to an error when calling
its classFactory() method 

TypeError: 'QVariant' object is not subscriptable  Traceback (most

Is this a general error because QGIS has just been updated or is it from MacOS X?

There are many plugins for QGIS on all platforms that haven't been updated for QGIS 3 yet (openlayers is still 'experimental' for v3 at this time) ... in the meantime, you could either stick with 2.18 until the final version 3 is out, or add basemaps via methods like this: https://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/20191/adding-basemaps-from-google-or-bing-in-qgis/217670#217670 — DPSSpatial_BoycottingGISSE, Jul 25 '18 at 15:39
Yeah, I've been reading that post, that's how I found out about QuickMapServices, but the basemaps don't load anything. The screen is always white... — Irene, Jul 25 '18 at 15:55
there are a lot of services in the QuickMapServices plugin that have sources that may or may not be maintained, but I can see the basica OSM Standard service works through QuickMapServices — DPSSpatial_BoycottingGISSE, Jul 25 '18 at 15:59
