    The cause of the crash is the absence of Python on the system. I have uploaded "2023.23" for macOS again. It has a code that detects Python on the "3DCoat" startup under macOS. When Python is not found, "3DCoat" for macOS displays a message box that allows you to install it. Why is "Python" not included with the "3DCoat" data files under macOS? I had a hard time when including third-party binaries with "3DCoat" for macOS. Apple's notarization service denies notarizing the "3DCoat" disk image because third-party binaries do not satisfy some rules. Those rules are satisfied inside the "3DCoat" using settings in the "Xcode" project when building the executable. But those rules cannot be satisfied when binaries are already built. Is there a sense to find a minimal set of Python files and a way to include them inside "3DCoat" for macOS data files on every disk image? Or installing once Python as a third-party prerequisite is reasonable? Please provide feedback on your experience directly to my email sergkryzh AT gmail DOT com.

    I encountered the mentioned issue at hand as shown below:

    Regarding feedback about my current Mac experience, I would appreciate the heads up to install Python before installing 3DCoat itself, either in the requirements page, or in a installation guide shown just after downloading the software.

     

    However, having a un-versioned external dependency like this could lead to more issues down the road (major Python updates with breaking API changes, different Python versions, broken installations, etc), so having a versioned Python interpreter bundled inside 3DCoat would be a much better option.

    I'm also a Mac user (just started to use the software today), currently running M2 Pro on MacOS Ventura 13.4.

    Activity Monitor shows that 3DCoat is being run with x86 instructions instead of native Mac instructions.E1ujInQ.png

     

    It could be a good idea to update the System Requirements page to inform that Apple Silicon is not natively supported (yet).
