MySQL Workbench crashes on mac os (fresh install)

I installed mySQL workbench and I can't open it, it crashes right away. SQL is installed, I can access databases in my terminal. The sql server is running. Im on mac os 11.1

I researched this topic, I found that a plugin can cause this, but I don't even have that plugin in my files.

Time Awake Since Boot: 890 seconds

System Integrity Protection: enabled

Crashed Thread:        0  Dispatch queue: com.apple.main-thread

Exception Type:        EXC_CRASH (SIGABRT)
Exception Codes:       0x0000000000000000, 0x0000000000000000
Exception Note:        EXC_CORPSE_NOTIFY

Termination Signal:    Abort trap: 6
Termination Reason:    Namespace SIGNAL, Code 0x6

Thanks in advance if you could help!

Solution

  • MySQLWorkbench 8.0.23 crashes for me on startup on macOS 11.1, but downgrading to 8.0.22 from MySQL archives allows it to startup without a problem.
