🛑 macOS Apple Silicon (arm64): this build is broken — use v0.21.1
The macOS arm64 assets below crash immediately on launch with EXC_BAD_ACCESS (Code Signature Invalid). A newly added Electron fuse rewrote the Electron Framework binary, which invalidated its ad-hoc signature, and the build was not re-signed afterwards.
Two ways to get a working app:
- Download v0.21.1 (recommended) — it ships the fix.
- Repair this build in place — after installing, run:
sudo codesign --force --deep --sign - /Applications/MarkText.app
xattr -cr does not fix this crash. The macOS Intel (x64) and the Windows/Linux builds are unaffected.
⚠️ Note for macOS users
Builds are unsigned (no Apple Developer ID). After dragging MarkText into Applications, clear the quarantine flag once:
xattr -cr /Applications/MarkText.app
