Can't Get Chromium 68 to Work on Apple M4 Max (macOS Sequoia)

Debugging LG webOS TV Apps Impossible Right Now

I recently upgraded to a MacBook with the Apple M4 Max chip running macOS Sequoia, and I can’t get Chromium 68 (required for LG webOS dev tools) to run at all.

Here’s what I’ve tried:

  1. Downloaded Chromium 68 from the LG developer site
  2. Gave it the proper permissions:
xattr -cr Chromium.app  
open Chromium.app
  1. On first launch, it asked to install Rosetta, which I did.
  2. Now, when I try to launch it, it just opens and immediately closes with no error message or crash log.

This is making it impossible to debug webOS apps on my LG TV, and I’m completely stuck with no way to continue development on this new Mac.

Has anyone found a workaround for getting Chromium 68 to run on Apple Silicon — specifically M4 Max with Sequoia?

Any help would be massively appreciated.

Unfortunately, emulator-related features are not supported on Apple Silicon Macs. Sorry for not being helpful.
