Whenever I try to open the 64 bit Steam application, the Steam logo appears on the Dock for a split second then disappears. It keeps crashing within a second or so. I have tried deleting and reinstalling steam multiple times and the same issue continues to reoccur.
Please could someone assist me with this issue?
Many thanks,

FIXED: If anyone was having the same issues as me, please visit the below website. The steps are simple and fixed my issues!
Thanks for your help.
Are you on the latest OS X update? And if so, maybe just try reinstalling steam once more. First force-quit steam. Then go to finder > Apps > Steam and drag it to your bin. Now erase your bin. Restart your Mac. Download the latest steam installer: https://store.steampowered.com/about/ . Open it and follow the instructions.
If this still doesn't solve your problem I suggest you try the steam community. (Or maybe a full macOS reinstall, but that is a very painful process) Let me know!
Another option is to go to System Preferences > Security and Privacy > Accessibility > uncheck then check Steam
This is because steam is just hates macOS. It occurs sometimes. I would advise the support page of steam. But what have worked for me was simply restarting my Mac or Force-quit steam and re-open it.
I have tried restarting and force quitting etc, and unfortunately no luck. Doesn't appear that there are any support discussions surrounding this on the Steam support page either which is annoying... Someone please help!
Yes, I am on the latest OS X. I completed all the steps you mentioned (except the full macOS reinstall) but no luck still. The furthest I get to is the below screen once I installed it, but then it keeps crashing when I press open.
Tried that, still not working :(
Update on the above; I have reinstalled the Mac OS (which took hours!!) and still Steam is not working... This is infuriating me, is there anyone else who can assist me with this?
So after all, it still was a 32-bits issue. Good to hear its all working!
I honestly can't think of any other solution for you. Maybe other community's can help you further. But if you do consider reinstalling macOS. It can be done by holding command-r on boot. Then you can reinstall macOS. (more information here: https://support.apple.com/nl-nl/guide/mac-help/mchlp1599/mac ) But I hope someone else can help you further. If you somehow fixed it or found a solution, please let me know. Good luck
