App Crashes on Launch in Big Sur (MacOS 11.0.1)

Hey all,

Made the not-so-smart move of upgrading my new version of an OS on my main machine.

ANYWAYS,

here is a screenshot, error message

Error Logs

TWas able to reproduce the problem after uninstalling and reinstalling Robofont and also downgrading from 3.4 to 3.3

and my raw system log:

I ran into an issue where the new 3.5 beta would crash on open (as above). I tracked it down to having used vanilla through the external_packages folder. Removing it allowed RF to open normally. I expect RF3.5 includes the newest version of vanilla that supersedes the prior version I had in external_packages.

However it is not advised to upgrade if your primary app is RoboFont and slower fix will be posted early next week.

also read the statement here https://forum.robofont.com/topic/908/robofont-on-macos-11-big-sur

Im sorry for the disruption.
