I’ve created a new Cocoa console application and just tried to build the single line program containing

writeLn("The magic happens here.")

The message prints but then I get an error in that says

Collecting from unknown thread
!> Fatal exception of type SIGABRT on thread 2251

here is the backtrace

An exception occurred in test1, thread 3F7C

Type: SIGABRT

Curious. this is Island/macOS, i suppose from the call stack? i cannot reproduce this here, locally:

Hi Marc thanks for you help again. I’m not sure what I was doing before, I probably messed with some settings or chose the wrong project platform because now I’m having no problems. Regards

I take it back: so for me, a Toffee application compiles fine, but an Island project will not, with Island I get the above error

Very curious. is this with the very latest, .2743? jic, what version on macOS are you on, and what version of Xcode/the macOS SDK are you building against?

Fire v 11.0.2743

I’m on Mac OS Catalina 10.15.7, however my Xcode is not up to date, that may be the issue. Currently my SDK is MacOSX10.15 but my Xcode is version 10.0

I don’t believe it should be the issue, but who knows… Unfortunatelty Catalina is pretty old, I myself don’t have a Mac around with it anymore, to test… Can you first try using the latest Xcode still supported on Catalina, and if that fails, is updating the OS or trying on a newer Mac an option?
