Description

On macOS, using the latest prebuilt binary (downloaded today), I open the app and successfully login with my username and password. But then trying to run the app results in a segfault. I'm running High Sierra 10.13.6, I'm assuming that this isn't supported?

Segfault output is below:

Research direction
The issue is a crash on macOS 10.13 due to a missing symbol ` chkstk darwin` which is only available on macOS 10.15+. The binary is built targeting macOS 10.15. To resolve, the build configuration needs to set the minimum deployment target to 10.13 or lower. Check the repository's build scripts, Cargo.toml, or CI configuration for any `MACOSX DEPLOYMENT TARGET` environment variable or similar settings. A possible fix is to add `MACOSX DEPLOYMENT TARGET=10.13` to the build or reduce the deployment target in the Rust compiler flags. Also verify that the code does not use any APIs only available on 10.15.
