Ok I figured out the problem. I was tripping the sandbox security.
You need to add the following dictionary to the WSJT-X Info.plist to stop the
crash:
<dict>
<key>NSAllowsArbitraryLoads</key>
<true/>
<key>NSAllowsLocalNetworking</key>
<true/>
</dict>
I will try to create a pull request to have this added to the mainline
info.plist file in the repo…. (Joe, who do I send Mac PRs to?)
