Perhaps it's an addon, or the config. Try removing both FreeCAD directories in ~/Library/Application Support/ and ~/Library/Preferences/
.

User on github (who isn't able to use the forum due to not getting activation email post-registration) has also encountered this issue and has figured out it has to something to do with homebrew dependency qt-webengine:

I think it is an interesting way, I use Homebrew too, I try to find if qtwebengine is installed... not easy to know if is included inside another package.

I noticed in my command line logs that binary was searching for some resource files in my home path ~/.FreeCAD. I have copied and it works for me in MacOS Monterey.

cp /Applications/FreeCAD.app/Contents/Resources/resources/* ~/.FreeCAD

Hello,

I' ve finally found the reason for this error message:

17:01:35 Qt WebEngine resources not found at /Applications/FreeCAD.app/Contents/Resources/Resources. Trying parent directory...

When I look into the application I see

/Applications/FreeCAD.app/Contents/Resources/resources

with a lowercase "r".

If I rename the folder to "Resources" it works.

This affects only a small number of macOS users, since the default is to ignore case.

It would be nice to get this fixed in 0.21.

Greetings Axel
