CHIRP

Hi Rob, I'm not a Mac user, but the log suggests a number of things:

/Applications/CHIRP.app/Contents/Resources/chirp/chirp/ui/mainapp.py:1593: GtkWarning: Cannot open pixbuf loader module file '/usr/local/lib/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders.cache': No such file or directory

This likely means that your installation is broken.
Try running the command
  gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders > /usr/local/lib/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders.cache
to make things work again for the time being.
  d.run()
/Applications/CHIRP.app/Contents/Resources/chirp/chirp/platform.py:152: GtkWarning: Could not find the icon 'inode-directory'. The 'hicolor' theme
was not found either, perhaps you need to install it.
You can get a copy from:
    http://icon-theme.freedesktop.org/releases

The download issue may be caused by a bad cable, cable driver, or connector - check these things.

Thanks for the swift replay!

After entering in terminal: /opt/kk7ds/lib/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders.cache
I get following response : zsh: permission denied: /opt/kk7ds/lib/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders.cache

Note: I had to change the path you suggested, as loaders.cache is located elsewhere.

any resolution? I have the same issue but with a BTech GMSR V1

*** Verified cable works ***

Got a new MacBook Pro with Big Sur... Tried to load CHIRP and got no love...
Tried launching the app from the command menu while located in my App folder.

Ran the following command prompt in Terminal: /Applications/CHIRP.app/Contents/MacOS/chirp

Results are below:
2021-08-25 19:24:39.521 CHIRP[7255:1077255] *** WARNING: Method userSpaceScaleFactor in class NSView is deprecated on 10.7 and later. It should not be used in new applications. Use convertRectToBacking: instead.

Rob:
Are you using the Mac Unified Application? If not, please try that. GTK failures tend to result from an incompatible mix of externally installed GTK libraries with Chirp's usage of GTK. The Unified Application incorporates the version of GTK that Chirp needs.

David:
This is a separate issue. It looks like you may have grabbed a build that was in the middle of some changes related to the removal of some XML support. Please try a later build of Chirp, and see if that resolves your issue.
