Cannot run on Mac OS

Has anybody else with a Mac had issue running QGC? It used to work. I’m running Mac OC 10.10. After a QGC update about a year ago it would no longer launch. I figured it would iron itself out in the next update but even after a new install today with the latest version it’s the same problem. I do have 3rd party apps okay to run checked. It starts to launch for maybe 1 second then quits. I don’t see others posting about this issue so I assume it’s on my end but if anybody has any idea’s I’d really appreciate it. I even tried to log in as a guest user but still have the same issue.

If I remember there has been one report of QGC not running on older OSX versions but that just one. Whereas no reports of any problems like that on current OSX versions.

I can confirm QGC 3.4.2 crashes on startup
MacBook Air OS X 10.6.8
It tries to run in 64 bit native on a 32 bit machine.
The current download does state 10.8 or higher so a crash isn’t unexpected.
There is also a display difference on the MacBook Air that trips up quite a few programs.
It runs fine under 10.14.

QGC will only run on 64 bit OSX versions.

Running this in Terminal says 10.10 is 64 bit [ getconf LONG_BIT ] so I’m still at a loss :[ I’d update to 10.14 but there are other things I run would no longer work and Apple ruined iPhoto after 10.10.
