Question / Help OBS crash & aac streaming encoder error

[MMichael]

Hi, experts

Yesterday, I downloaded the latest version of OBS from GitHub official release.
OBS can't run normally, I had tried multiple version include obs-mac-24.0.6 / obs-mac-24.0.5 / OBS-mac-25.0.0-rc1.
With 24.x.x version , I got crash info, with 25.x.x version I met an AAC error.
You can get more log & screenshot from the link:

Hi
When I run of 25.x, no error log shows, just a error msg like "Failed to create aac streaming encoder(simple output)".
And I had paste the error msg image / Mac configuration / iOS info etc in previous link.

Ok ~

But run "obs" in the terminal of MAC, I got some detail error msg.

/Applications/OBS.app/Contents/MacOS  obsinfo: CPU Name: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 - Pastebin.com

Pastebin.com is the number one paste tool since 2002. Pastebin is a website where you can store text online for a set period of time.

Thank you.

And....
Then after some tries, I found a strange situation.
If I don't drag OBS into MAC "Application" and open it directly in the window of opening dmg package, it can run normally, so I guess this issue should be related to some system path or environment.

Final solution (improper):
Use the OBS version: obs-mac-24.0.6.dmg
Don't drag OBS into MAC "Application" , open it directly in the window of opening dmg package.....
Done ~

It Works Here. Running @ macOS Mojave 10.14.6 with APFS Case Sensitive. I come to bring this information, because may be the cause...
