Consider this snippet from the crashed thread’s backtrace:

10  Foundation     … -[NSAssertionHandler handleFailureInMethod:object:file:lineNumber:description:] + 204
11  AppKit         … -[NSMenuItem initWithTitle:action:keyEquivalent:] + 384
12  libtk8.6.dylib … +[NSMenuItem(TKUtils) itemWithSubmenu:] + 80

Your code — well, library code from another third party that you’ve included in your app — (frame 12) has called -[NSMenuItem initWithTitle:action:keyEquivalent:] (frame 11) which has tripped an assertion (frame 10). There are two possible causes for this assertion:

The string passed to the title parameter is nil.
The string passed to the keyEquivalent parameter is nil.

Both are a clear error on the part of the caller.

I can’t offer any further insight because all the frames deeper the backtrace are third-party code. I recommend that you escalate this via the support challenge for that code.

Thanks for your reply. Could you explain what is support challenge? and another thing, why my app works correctly when I open it's package content and run it's "Unix Executable File"? what's deference between "dmg" and "Unix Executable File" of my app?
