According to the MacOS install instructions, the MacOS Sketchfab plugin looks for minizip under /usr/local/lib/libminizip.dylib. However, as mentioned in the Homebrew docs, Homebrew tries to install stuff in /opt/homebrew on M1 Macs, instead of /usr/local on Intel Macs. As a result, the plugin can't find minizip and crashes.
For reference, homebrew installed minizip on my computer at /opt/homebrew/Cellar/minizip/1.2.11/lib/libminizip.dylib
I have the same issue with my M1 Macbook Air.
I can't even open Unreal Engine with the plugin installed.
I tried to relocate the file to /usr/local/lib but that also didn't work.
