Every time I hit update on the Houdini Launcher on Apple Silicon it quits unexpectedly.

Does anyone else have this issue?

It has full disk access and no restrictions as far as I can tell on my macOS side.

Can you press "Report" and see what it says?

not sure if there is any sensitive information in there...

is this a bug or is there anything wrong on my side?

since I posted this I made 3 updates to the launcher
same crash every time..

Have you tried downloading a newer version of the launcher from the website? The error that you're encountering seems to be related to code-signing. It's possible that a bad build was uploaded.

just did download directly from the website
updated to Houdini Launcher Version 20.0.590 M1
same thing..

To confirm, the "same thing" is that you get a crash when you press the update button in the launcher?

yes, exactly.
It updates and then crashes.

just updated to
Houdini Launcher Version 20.0.591 M1
Compiled with AppleClang 14.0.0.14000029

crashed again

afterwards I can launch it fine and it seems to have done the update

EDIT:

this may be related?

I just installed the new production build of Houdini 20 via the launcher

it showed me this:
Warning: Expecting a LaunchAgents path since the command was ran as user. Got LaunchDaemons instead. `launchctl bootout` is a recommended alternative. Unload failed: 5: Input/output error Try running `launchctl bootout` as root for richer errors.

It still crashes consistently every time.

Anyone else using apple silicon with that issue?
