Mac M1 - OBS crashing after connecting twitch account

[Scott_Bresnan19]

After the latest update, i can no longer start my stream on my M1 Mac. The OBS app quits right after i enter my twitch password and click connect.
I did a full reset of the app and deleted all files/temp files - still didn't work.

Full Crash Log is attached.

Im having the same issue with a Mac m2. It crashes before it gets to the login page for me. Played around with a bunch of different settings and reset my modem/router and still nothing works. I can enter my stream key but it doesnt seem to connect fully but it doesnt crash. Please update if you find a solution

I have a similar issue, Macbook Air M4. I can connect my Twitch stream key, and stream just fine, but I don't have a chat dock anymore. When I click the button in Stream Settings to connect my Twitch account, OBS opens a redirect window but crashes right after.

I downloaded an older version of OBS to my Mac and that seemed to work as normal. I as able to add the Stream Key no problem.
