MacOS (Silicon) Crash Issue with ZAP
HAHWUL
Hi everyone,
I'm experiencing a crash issue with ZAP on some of my MacOS (Silicon) machines. Despite reinstalling, the problem persists on these specific MacOS systems.
The zap.log file shows no further logs after this line:
[ZAP-BootstrapGUI] INFO org.zaproxy.zap.control.ExtensionFactory - Loading extensions
I'm cautiously guessing that it might be a Java-related issue. There isn't much information in the zap.log, and the only data available during the crash is what Apple provides. Unfortunately, it's not easy to resolve this.
For reference, there haven't been any significant system changes, and this issue started occurring sometime after I began using version 2.15
I suspect it might not be an issue with ZAP itself, but I'm looking for any advice or solutions. Has anyone encountered and resolved this issue before?
Thanks for your help!

The only issue I'm aware was this one:
https://blogs.oracle.com/java/post/java-on-macos-14-4
But updating to latest version of Sonoma should address it. If you are
already using latest I'd try using the Linux package and a newer Java
version.
Best regards.

- Running with a different Java version -> The same issue occurs even when using the system's Java instead of the embedded version.
- Running with CLI (./zap.sh) -> It crashes in the same way.
- Running in daemon mode(./zap.sh -daemon) -> It runs normally.
My guess is that there's some kind of conflict with the UI-related part.

Long time no see, everyone! While not necessarily a definitive solution, using ZAP 2.14 bundled with Java helped me resolve the issue. If anyone is experiencing something similar, this approach might offer a potential solution.

I'm sharing this with the group in the hope that it could be a helpful method for others facing similar issues :D
Thank you
