GPU process crashing on MacOS 11+

[FriwiDev]

Hello,

we are currently experiencing an issue where the GPU process crashes on startup with error code 1003:

All binaries (dylibs and helper .app bundles) are signed and have a correct signature when being verified. Gatekeeper is disabled on top of that. Example:

This error occurs on the 4638 branch with jcefmaven 95.7.14.8. Sadly I have no feedback if the default app structure works on newer macs. The setup does work on older macs (I personally test with v10.9).

We tried flags from this electron issue, to no avail: https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/32074

Any help or hints would be greatly appreciated!

Maybe this is related to the system integrity protection, as helper apps are not notarized yet: https://developer.apple.com/documentati ... protection

System Integrity Protection (SIP) in macOS protects the entire system by preventing the execution of unauthorized code. The system automatically authorizes apps that the user downloads from the App Store. The system also authorizes apps that a developer notarizes and distributes directly to users. The system prevents the launching of all other apps by default.

During development, it may be necessary for you to disable SIP temporarily to install and test your code. You don’t need to disable SIP to run and debug apps from Xcode, but you might need to disable it to install system extensions, such as DriverKit drivers.

We are still investigating this.

This is now resolved, the entitlements did not grant enough permissions. The new permissions can be found on the https://github.com/jcefmaven/jcefbuild repository
