@PhilippKuntschik I can confirm that the v6.0.0 release worked fine for me on an 2018 intel Mac mini running Big Sur ... after jumping through the expected hoops to run an unsigned app. So far the issues I can see are ...

  1. The need for code signing so the app just opens.
  2. Testing with newer macOS versions.
  3. Build/Test for Apple Silicon (which I can't do off hand, but I do have one on the way for other reasons)

LibreLens release 6.0.0 installs and launches without any unexpected issues on my 2020 MacBook Pro with the M1. I am currently running macOS Monterey.

Unfortunately, since LibreLens does not run natively on Apple Silicon, I experience the same slowdowns that Mirantis' Lens had before a native binary was offered. This is a familiar issue for large Electron apps running under Rosetta.

The only other issue experienced was that LibreLens consistently generates a crash report dialog upon quitting the application. I will need to test a non-native Lens binary to see if this issue is due to running on Apple Silicon.
