I'm not sure what "rootless8" mentioned in that ticket refers to. Maybe it is
the name of the user's computer. Probably irrelevant.
If you want to provide your crash log, you can do that, but it sounds like we
already figured out what the problem is.
Per the mailing list thread mentioned in that ticket, I think the problem is an
install_name_tool bug in Xcode 12.2. I don't know if the problem remains in
Xcode 12.4. If you did not build wxWidgets from source, you can try doing that
and see if it fixes the problem. Let us know whether or not that fixed it. If
12.4 didn't fix the bug, then a workaround is given in the mailing list thread
linked in that ticket.
