VESC Tool Crashing on connection (on Macbook version)

hi - I just donated for a silver release of the VESC tool, and after installing it's crashing when I try to connect to my board (a floatwheel ADV1 with the ADV2 hardware kit installed) 

Is there a logs folder I can investigate what's going wrong? Thanks

It's crashing here. The repo steps are: 

1. scan for devices (my wheel shows up fine).
2. click connect - crash to desktop. Looking at the crash report it shows -

And 5 minutes ago it was working. I did nothing big. And it's working from windows PC.
I have two M1, on second same issue. Suddenly always crush after pressing connect on Bluetooth.
Cleaning with AppCleaner does not help.

Please fix it.
