I just finished a project I have been working on and exported it to a macOS application. When I tried to run it the app didn’t open and the system threw the following error:

There is a very long trace of different threads that follow the above error information.

I use Processing’s thread() function quite a bit and this is the first time I have used it. Could it be the issue after exporting the app?

Are you using libraries?

I’m using the following libraries:

```auto
import java.util.*;
import java.io.BufferedWriter;
import java.io.FileWriter;
import java.io.FileReader;
import processing.sound.*;

```

This is my first time using processing.sound. Could it be the problem?

Update:

I decided to change the renderer from P2D to processings built-in renderer and it is working just fine now. I’m still not sure what the exact problem was, but I’m glad it’s working now.

I’m getting this exact error for my application too… Need a solution 😬
