Problem on macOS Catalina 10.15.7 in the Electron app

[dziudek]

Hi,

We are using sharp in our Publii app. We have got reports that the latest release of our app is not working on macOS Catalina 10.15.7.

The non-working version of app uses sharp v.0.31.2 while the latest working version uses sharp v.0.30.5

So I assume that something has been broken between these versions.

The app crashes during start and suggests sending report to Apple. I will also add that I have received information that the app perfectly works on macOS 11., 12. and 13.* both on Intel and M1 chips.

Can I ask if it seems to be a sharp-related issue?

In the report to Apple I have found such things:
