After updating to Anki 2.1.50 qt5 the app won’t open anymore. I’m on MacOS 10.13.6 so normally there shouldn’t be any compatibility issues.

I tried opening Anki via the terminal, here is the error code:

/Applications/Anki.app/Contents/MacOS/Anki  
Anki starting…  
Initial setup…  
Traceback (most recent call last):  
File “”, line 1, in   
File “aqt”, line 39, in   
File “anki.lang”, line 12, in   
File “anki.\_backend”, line 39, in   
ImportError: dlopen(/Applications/Anki.app/Contents/MacOS/lib/anki/\_backend/rsbridge.so, 2): no suitable image found. Did find:  
/Applications/Anki.app/Contents/MacOS/lib/anki/\_backend/rsbridge.so: cannot load ‘rsbridge.so’ (load command 0x80000034 is unknown)  
/Applications/Anki.app/Contents/MacOS/lib/anki/\_backend/rsbridge.so: cannot load ‘rsbridge.so’ (load command 0x80000034 is unknown)

Thank you in advance for your help!

When 2.1.51rc2 becomes available, please let me know if it fixes the issue for you.
