Describe the issue

_open3d.io.read_trianglemesh() doesn't read properly .obj files on macOS Monterey 12.6. It gives back an empty mesh. I was using open3d version 0.15.1. I tried to install the 0.14.1 and it worked normally, so I think there may be an issue with the latest release.

Steps to reproduce the bug

import numpy as np
import open3d as o3d

objPath = 'pointCloudBuilder/models/model_1.obj'
source = o3d.io.read_triangle_mesh(objPath)
