4.2rc1 - New project - Editor hangs when opening on Mac M1 Pro

[an0maly33]

Godot version

4.2rc1

System information

MacOS 13.6

Issue description

I just downloaded the latest version - 4.2rc1 and I can't get the editor to start. The project manager comes up, I create a new project, but when I try to edit, the project manager closes and the editor tries to start but it just hangs. Previously used 4.1.x with no issues.

Steps to reproduce

Create a new project, try to edit it.

Minimal reproduction project

N/A

What renderer did you choose for the new project? Do you have the same problem with all 3 options?

If it only happens with the GL Compatibility one, can you try to edit the project from the command line with:

path/to/Godot --rendering-driver opengl3

(to force overriding the default which should be opengl3_angle on macOS, and may be the source of your issue)

I tried Mobile and Forward. Seems fine on my M2 mac with OS 14.2 though.

I can't reproduce it (M1, macOS 14.1.1, with any renderer).

Can you confirm that 4.1.3-stable works fine on that macOS 13.6 machine?

If so, can you test intermediate dev snapshots/betas between 4.1-stable and 4.2-rc1 to pinpoint when it started failing? E.g. you can test 4.2-beta1 and based on the result test earlier or later builds (i.e. bisect the potential regression using official builds).

I did go back and install 4.1.3 and it runs fine. Where can I find the intermediate installers? I could only find the latest stable and RC1 downloads.

[akien-mga]

You can find all past dev and beta snapshots on latest pages of https://godotengine.org/blog, but there's also the archive page which lists them all: https://godotengine.org/download/archive/

4.2b1 Starts up fine with forward and mobile renderers but hangs or crashes when quitting. Any version past that hangs when the editor tries to launch.

UPDATE:
Apparently there was a dialog that was hidden somewhere to allow xcode to install some stuff. I didn't have my apple watch on this time and finally saw it. I accepted the prompt and rc1 now runs fine. Sorry about that. I did get prompted by my watch to double click the side button to allow something but there was no information on what I was allowing. I did it anyway, assuming it was related to Godot trying to start but seems it never actually triggered the install on the mac.

So if anyone has this again, make sure they're not wearing an apple watch when prompted by their Mac to install something.

Apparently there was a dialog that was hidden somewhere to allow xcode to install some stuff.

Godot doesn't need Xcode for most of the stuff, so it's probably should be considered as a bug anyway. Most likely caused by iOS one-click display trying to get running simulator list from Xcode.

Should be fixed by #85168 I believe?
