gnuradio @3.8.5.0_3: Unable to launch GNURadio.app

[thomasrussellmurphy (Thomas Russell Murphy)]

On MacOS 15.6.1 and M4, I'm unable to launch GNURadio.app installed by MacPorts, gnuradio @3.8.5.0_3. This might be related to or duplicate of #65742, but I'm not sure how to test. This is likely obsoleted if #71159 is addressed or lack of OS support makes this another duplicate since newer upstream directly resolves the issue.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Why are you unable? What happens when you try? If a crash log is generated, attach it.

[thomasrussellmurphy (Thomas Russell Murphy)]

The app appears to launch, but nothing ever comes up including an application instance (cmd-tab or dock) lacking a window. There is no crash log or other report apparent after trying to launch the .app package.

[stefanoaz (Steve R)]

Watching, same problem. No crashlog generated, icon appears in dock but does not launch a ui window. Hardware/OS is macos 26.3 on M4_max Studio. No event generated in syslog: dock icon must be dismissed by force-quit. The Activity Monitor shows a GNURadio process launched with the following open files and ports:
