Hi Kevin,
I did see your report of this issue, I have yet to reproduce it. Several
macOS WSJT-X v2.1.0 users have reported crashes that do not generate a
crash report and only leave a trace in the console log of launchd with
exit code 2. Exit code 2 is normally a file not found error but I don't
know if that is the case here or what file it may be failing to find. I
am waiting for someone who can reproduce this error to try running
WSJT-X from a console terminal command line like this:
/Applications/wsjtx.app/Contents/MacOS/wsjtx
i.e. not using open that uses launchd in turn. I am hoping a more
helpful error message may be forthcoming.

Bill, thanks for this info!
The crashes I have seen are related to selection of MSK144 mode. This
invariably causes the app to crash. Sometimes MSK144 mode will “come
up” in the UI, but in that case any interaction with the UI elements
will cause the app to crash. I submitted a report about this to the
list several days ago. The only message in the system log says
something about launched and “abnormal exit code 2”.
I am not at my machine but can provide whatever specific info you
need. Thanks to the team for all the great work on he apps!

Hi all,
some of you have reported a crash on startup, thanks to those who
have provided the crash report.
I can confirm there is a defect which appears to be in the underlying
Qt library we use for cross platform portability. The issue is fixed
in Qt v5.11 but using that will entail dropping support for macOS
Yosemite (10.10), that will probably happen at the next release of
WSJT-X.
In the meantime there is a workaround with some minor loss of
functionality. The crash happens in code to read the LoTW user file
downloaded from the ARRL LoTW web site. WSJT-X will function without
that file but without highlighting of known LoTW user's CQ calls. To
avoid the issue delete following file:
~/Library/"Application Support"/WSJT-X/lotw-user-activity.csv
Once deleted you should not use the "Preferences->Colors->Logbook of
the World user Validation->Fetch" button until this issue is resolved.
Note that this issue is not affecting all users, if you are not
seeing this crash then you may be able to continue using WSJT-X
v2.1.0 without taking the action.
