Hi everyone,
Hoping someone can help me with my Anki crashing. I have MacOS Big Sur 11.2.3 with an M1 chip and 8 GB memory. The app was working just fine on the current OS until yesterday, and now the app won’t open at all. The error I get when I try to open Anki is coped below (I had to abridge the error below due to character limitations on this post). It looks like a segmentation fault, but I have very minimal computer science knowledge. Would so appreciate any advice on how to fix this!
