iTerm2 crashed on launch due to missing library BetterFontPicker.

[JacksonBailey (Jackson Bailey)]

After launching iTerm2 by installing with port I get this error. Note, this crash report is from the Crash Reporter after installing iTerm2 manually and launching it successfully. It is detecting the previous launch from port but I see the same error mentioned (Library not loaded: @rpath/BetterFontPicker.framework/Versions/A/BetterFontPicker) so I trust it.

I'm seeing something at least very similar. The report seems to be referring to the library having code signature issues?

[markemer (Mark Anderson)]

This was fixed, but seems to have reappeared. iTerm2 is becoming harder and harder to maintain because it's binaries are very backward compatible, but its builds are not.

[cvengler (cve)]

I can confirm that this continues to exist on M2 Sequoia.

[markemer (Mark Anderson)]

Yeah, I'm currently totally overhauling iTerm2 to bring us up to a modern version. It's a little slow going, but it's on it's way.
