I was using the beta to test out Glyphs 4 on my iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2015) running macOS Monterey (12.7.6)
It worked relatively well for a few days, only crashing occasionally. However, it crashed one last time and will not relaunch (quits immediately upon launch). I deleted the application, and let it sit for a few days while worked with Glyphs 3, hoping that an update would solve the issue. Now that Glyphs 4 is available for purchase, I would like to upgrade my Glyphs 3, but the most recent download of Glyphs 4 will still not launch on my tired old iMac.
Any suggestions?
The problem most likely is that the original crash left some files behind that glyphs is trying to load on startup and crashes. Do you get an apple crash report dialog? If so, can you post the text from the Show Details window?

No Apple crash report window.
I suspect that it is some sort of corrupted preference file or something similar. I dug through the Library folder and deleted anything associated with Glyphs 4 (Preferences, Caches, etc), and installed a fresh version.
It continued to crash a couple of times during launch, but my iMac struggled through and was able to get it up and running. Everything appears stable now. I will let you know if the problem reappears.
