Perhaps it was a problem caused by Macos 14.3, and I also encountered the same problem yesterday. We were still unable to solve it, and in the end, we tried installing using sideloady
BTW the crash log has said

Perhaps it is related to the bag. I can't start it from the bag downloaded from decrypt.day, but it runs normally from Taobao.
