(This is a re-post from R-pkg-devel hoping to get more feedback) A package of mine was recently archived from CRAN because one of its examples results in a crash on the M1mac platform: https://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/bdr/M1mac/MeshAgreement.out
As I don't have access to a Mac, I'm very grateful for Macbuilder. However, there, the package tests without errors (link likely to stop working): https://mac.r-project.org/macbuilder/results/1670186023-a7f313b721c2b516/ One difference I noticed between the Macbuilder and CRAN systems is that Macbuilder builds for aarch64-apple-darwin20 (64-bit), whereas CRAN builds for aarch64-apple-darwin22.1.0 (64-bit). Moreover, Macbuilder uses R-4.2.1 whereas CRAN uses R-devel r83383. The example leading to the crash uses a function from the imported package cgalMeshes which relies on compiled code. cgalMeshes itself is on CRAN and apparently tests without errors on M1mac. I would like to investigate further how to prevent the crash, but it may depend on the MacOS version, or on the R version. Are there publicly available options to test packages on a system that is very similar to the CRAN M1mac in order to implement the necessary changes to get the package back on CRAN? Many thanks in advance Daniel
