Zed.app does not execute correctly in macOS Catalina

[thmasq]

Describe the bug
After manually moving the Zed.app file to the Applications folder and then executing it, the app shows up in the dock for a second and disappears right after. No logs are produced, which made me think the program could not even launch properly. Executing the program in the terminal does not produce any log or output either.

To reproduce
On macOS Catalina open the DMG image, extract the app to the Applications folder and execute it.

Expected behavior
I expected the program to initialize normally and generate logs to /Library/Logs/Zed.

Environment:

Zed 0.46.0 – /Applications/Zed.app
macOS 10.15.7
architecture x86_64

Note: it is running inside a KVM, but every native mac program tested works without a problem

Logs
No logs were generated, presumably because zed was never able to run successfully

KVM may not have Metal rendering support. Zed REQUIRES Metal rendering which is a BIG no-no when writing macOS applications. Unless your KVM system can use a "Metal supported GPU" the application will not run.

I understand. My motherboard does not support GPU passthrough, so hardware virtualization was my only option. I'll close the issue
