macOS Big Sur troubleshooting: Abort trap: 6 #129

Closed cygann closed 3 years ago

cygann commented 3 years ago

Attempting to run a simple example on my computer (macOS Big Sur), the program would crash almost immediately with the following error message (no other information):

Abort trap: 6

After a bit of web searching, I found that I needed to add my terminal application to the Bluetooth privacy permissions under System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Privacy > Bluetooth. After doing this everything worked!

This is not an impending issue as I resolved it, but I thought it would be helpful to anyone facing a similar problem in the future.

As noted above, this has been resolved.
