crash on launch on M1 MacBook, Tahoe 26.6 #28

Description

@ebirn

Hi,
I'm installing the AntScope2 app on a freshly setup M1 MacBook Pro.
I hope the report helps, let me know if I can provide any additional information.

Best,
Erich

Environment

  • App version: AntScope2 1.4.11
  • macOS version: 26.6 (build 25G72)
  • Mac model: MacBook Pro 18,4 (Apple M1 Max)
  • Architecture: ARM-64 (native, not Rosetta/translated)

Problem
The app crashes immediately at launch, before the main window appears or any
device is connected. It never gets past process startup.

Crash summary
Termination Reason: Namespace DYLD, Code 4, Symbol missing
Symbol not found: __Z13lcPermissionsv
Referenced from: AntScope2 (main executable)
Expected in: QtCore.framework/Versions/A/QtCore (bundled inside AntScope2.app)

Likely cause (by assistance of Claude)

The bundled QtCore.framework inside AntScope2.app reports version 6.2.4
(CFBundleShortVersionString "6.2"), but the main executable references
lcPermissions, a symbol tied to Qt's Permissions API introduced in Qt 6.5.
This suggests the app binary was built/linked against a newer Qt (6.5+)
while an older QtCore (6.2.x) got bundled into the .app — a packaging
mismatch rather than an issue with my system.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Install AntScope2 1.4.11 on macOS 26.6 (Apple Silicon)
  2. Launch the app
  3. App crashes instantly on launch, before any UI appears

Expected behavior
App should launch normally.
