Did you install Natron using the official installer?

• Yes, I used the official installer
• No, I installed from a binary archive
• No, I compiled Natron from sources
• No, I installed Natron via another method

Custom installation path

No response

What were you trying to do?

I installed Natron for first time on my new system, on the opening of the app, it crashed and closed, the first screen appears and then immediately crashes, I tried it several times and the issue persists.

What did you expect to happen? What happened instead?

Cannot make a screenshot or have a crash number as it just closes after startup
The issue has been reported for M2 chips as well. #1004 and #998

Step-by-step reproduction instructions

1. Installed Natron from installer on M3 pro
2. give apple security permission to open the app as it is marked as unidentified developer (being open source it makes sense)
3. open the Natron
4. *Natron closes
