Description

Some apps may crash on start due to the absence of the NSAppleMusicUsageDescription key in info.plist when an Apple Music subscription is active in the host device.

Termination Reason:    Namespace TCC, Code 0 
This app has crashed because it attempted to access privacy-sensitive data without a usage description. The app's Info.plist must contain an NSAppleMusicUsageDescription key with a string value explaining to the user how the app uses this data.

Workaround:

Adding the key manually to info.plist:

<key>NSAppleMusicUsageDescription</key>
	<string>Anything</string>
