I have determined that the crash occurs when Viber tries to look for fresh update on download.cdn.viber.com

So solution that works is to prohibit any Viber connection to this server. I did it with littlesnitch rule.

If you'r not using littlesnitch then you can do it with hosts file:

  1. Open your terminal
  2. Type in sudo nano /private/etc/hosts and then your admin password
  3. File will open. Go to the last line and type 127.0.0.1 download.cdn.viber.com
  4. Press Ctrl+O (save file) and Ctrl+X (close file)


Now Viber should work without any crashes but youll have to install updates manually
