If you are still targeting macOS 11 on Apple Silicon with your apps, building with Xcode 15, and are seeing reports of a crash at startup, make sure to pass -Wl,-ld_classic (exactly that string) in the “Other Linker Flags" build setting, particularly if you are using C++.
That will force the use of the old linker, which doesn't have this issue with macOS 11. It's documented as a known issue in the Xcode release notes, but I know many developers who missed it, including myself!
