Cypress runner 8.7 quit unexpectedly with SIGABRT on MacOS Big Sur (11.6.2)

Current behavior

We recent upgraded Cypress from 6.2 to 8.7. Opening the test runner works fine but closing the test runner crashes every time on MacOS Big Sur.

Command to open Cypress runner: yarn cypress open --project ./integration/www and our node version is 14

Upgrading Cypress to the latest 9.4.1 does not solve the issue. Based on the stack trace, it seems to be related to Electron.

Does anyone else have the same issue and have fixes?

I’ve tried to downgrade Cypress versions to 8.3-8.5, 8.3 and 8.4 do not have the crash issue when closing the test runner, but the issue occurs on 8.5.

I’m also facing it with Cypress v11.1.0.
