Guide: If you have issues with new VLC on high end device

I'm facing an issue with VLC version 3.0.20 for macOS on Apple's macOS Sonoma 14.2 system. This occurred after updating to a new version of VLC. Even on another laptop, the error persists. VLC doesn't launch; it goes straight to a Crash Reporter window. I've searched forums, but found no solution. I've encountered others with the same problem. I'll send the error report contents. :?: :?: :?: :?: :?:

I'm looking everywhere for a solution to this. I've used VLC for years and love it, but decided to uninstall and reinstall cause some things weren't working and now it simply won't launch. It just won't launch. And I can't find anything online to fix it. I've tried restarting my system and uninstalling and reinstalling again. It just bounces once and disappears forever. I love VLC but I'm two days away from giving up and switching to a different player
