I can't launch Geometry Dash on my M2 MacBook Air.

I bought Geometry Dash with my money and when I try to launch it, it told me that It quit unexpectedly. I Understand once, but twice? Then I tried a third time. The same thing. It kept happening over and over again. Is this happening to someone else?

MacBook Air, macOS 13.5

Hey there. Sadly, GD is a 32-bit game, and Apple ended support for 32-Bit games in macOS Catalina 10.15 so you cannot play it. I am a hardcore GD Fan and want it too for my M2 MacBook Pro but can't get it, but you can use an android or windows emulator!

Strangely enough Geometry Dash (straight from the App Store) actually worked on my M1 MacBook Air in previous versions of macOS. I can't remember which exact version it was but I suspect it was an early version of Monterey. Now it just crashes upon launch.


That said, my experience might not be the same as OP's. We don't know yet where they got Geometry Dash from (the Mac App Store, another storefront, etc.)

If an App won't Run After Install...


A. Restart your Mac:

Having just installed this, restart your Mac, seeing if it opens up just fine.


B. Request a New Installer:

Seems you have a corrupt install. If this was purchased from Apple, then contact them, equating a new installer. If purchased from a device, then connect them directly, reusing a new key. Once provided with this, drag the App's icon to the Trash and then try reinstalling the app with the new key.
