When I try to start Visual Studio Code (v 1.89.0) from the command line, via
code or open /Applications/Visual\ Studio\ Code.app the app icon bounces and then the app crashes. Error below.
I’ve tried reinstalling the app. And completely removing all user settings:
#!/bin/sh
rm -fvr ~/Library/Preferences/com.microsoft.VSCode.plist
rm -fvr ~/Library/Caches/com.microsoft.VSCode
rm -fvr ~/Library/Caches/com.microsoft.VSCode.ShipIt/
rm -fvr ~/Library/Application\ Support/Code/
rm -fvr ~/Library/Saved\ Application\ State/com.microsoft.VSCode.savedState/
rm -fvr ~/.vscode/
Unfortunately nothing seems to help. Codium has the same problem.
Opening the application by clicking on it in the GUI works fine.
Opening the application from the command line in a different user profile also works fine. –> This makes me believe there is something in my profile messing with the application. But… I’ve deleted all Visual Studio Code user setting I even ran find ~/Library -iname "*vscode*" -exec rm -rfv {} \;.
Any suggestions are welcome.

Solved
Turns out I had the following line in my .zshrc profile
export SYSTEM_VERSION_COMPAT=1
Removing the line solved the issues.
