I installed mySQL workbench and I can't open it, it crashes right away. SQL is installed, I can access databases in my terminal. The sql server is running. Im on mac os 11.1

I researched this topic, I found that a plugin can cause this, but I don't even have that plugin in my files.

Time Awake Since Boot: 890 seconds

System Integrity Protection: enabled

Crashed Thread:        0  Dispatch queue: com.apple.main-thread

Exception Type:        EXC_CRASH (SIGABRT)
Exception Codes:       0x0000000000000000, 0x0000000000000000
Exception Note:        EXC_CORPSE_NOTIFY

Termination Signal:    Abort trap: 6
Termination Reason:    Namespace SIGNAL, Code 0x6

Thanks in advance if you could help!

I was having the exact same issue, I was able to download the older version from MySql's archives, and it worked for me.

P.S., I also had to go into System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General and open anyway for MySQL.

Thanks for providing a link to the MySQL archives...I was having the same issue too.

I had the same problem (macOS BigSur 11.6.3) : could not upgrade to any v8.x version. After further investigation, I found that I was having a user module (script I wrote several years ago to generate automatic documentation). After removing it from the 6.3 version (menu : Scripting > Scripting shells > Files > User module) I was able to install and run MysqlWorkbench 8 (8.28 for instance)
