Also reported in https://wordpress.com/forums/topic/wordpress-8-0-0-update-crashing-on-mac-mini-2 User verifies that v8.0 works fine on their laptop (Intel Silicon) but crashes on their Mac Mini (Apple Silicon) using MacOS 13.4.1 Ventura. They have successfully downgraded to 7.2, and are able to use the app without issues on their Mini. They included a Apple Crash report as well: |

Just adding for posterity that a user said they faced this issue on M2 Max MacBook Pro as well. |
Yes, this is all Apple Silicon. |

I think I have a solution to the crash; just making sure the resulting build works. Since the individual knowledgeable with the WordPress.com Desktop App is AFK for rest of the week, I don't have an exact timeframe for the fix just yet. I'll update this issue once I have a timeline. Edit: once the task is complete I will be posting a post-mortem on this. |

I have followed up with the affected users reported in this thread. Specifically:
