Hi Ivar,

The crash log seems to be related to a known issue in MATLAB for macOS. The suggested workaround involves configuring MATLAB to use a MathWorks supported JRE. Specifically, Java 11 JRE included with Amazon Corretto 11 should be installed.

For detailed instructions, please refer to the following Bug Reports page:

https://www.mathworks.com/support/bugreports/3104060

I hope this helps!
