Keychain Access repeatedly crashes in Big Sur

Can you post the crash log? Go to Console app and look for diagnostic report on the left hand side.

My Keychain Access application continuously crashes every single time I open it.

The Latest update to Big Sur is 11.3.1

Sorry. It’s under crash reports. You could have multiple crash reports and reports for other apps. Try to find the most recent Keychain Access crash report. But otherwise, that last crash log you posted was the kind of thing I’m looking for.

Thanks. I'm now up to 11.4, with no resolution.

If it were a a problem with anything from 11.2.3 to 11.4, several million people would have already noticed it by now. If you have a crash report, it might have some indication of what is causing the crash. Might not too.

You can’t create a crash report. If it is crashing, then you can post a crash report. But if it is just locking up, then that is something different. Alas, I’m forbidden from linking to my app that might help explain why it would be locking up. But if you have a crash report, that’s something I’m allowed to ask for.
