Discord crashing upon OpenAsar being installed (macOS)

[Lec0ns]

Discord crashes when trying to open it after installing OpenAsar (with Equicord/Vencord) on macOS 26. The issue has not been fixed for a while. Opening via the Terminal seems to provide logs of the attempt (and the errors), so I will leave it below if it is useful:

En mi caso esto me paso únicamente al activar la opción experimental: "Quickstart", luego de eso la única forma de abrir de nuevo discord fue restaurar el backup que había realizado al archivo "app.asar".

Para volver a instalar openasar se debe reinstalar desde cero discord y luego volver a reemplazar el archivo .asar, y obviamente ignorar las opciones experimentales. Al menos para mi si funciono de esta manera.
