Unity crash on OS X: UnityGfxDeviceWorker thread crashed

When I zoom or rotate the camera my Unity app tends to crash. I include a short version of the crash report and a link to a complete version. More details on my research follow.

Thank you for your support.

Another section, that seems relevant:

You can find the entire report here: http://pastebin.com/D0L7CX9W

My research so far on the topic are searches on stackoverflow with the tags associated with the post. After reading some I discarded the results for iOS or other applications as non-helpful.

The closest match I found was the unanswered question here: Unity 5 crashes under Mac OSX Yosemite, although with some possily significant differences. I'm using El-Capitan, a newer version of unity (5.3.4f1 vs 5.0.0f4) and my crash report is from within Unity and not from a Unity built application. It is however the same thread which has crashed "UnityGfxDeviceWorker", so perhaps they have the same solution.

Other searches of mine have not been successful in finding a similar problem as in this case of Unity crashing, other than when building, starting up or similar.

Again, thank you for taking the time of reading this and I am grateful for you help.

Solved it by unchecking Metal API Validation flag in Edit Scheme -> Run -> Diagnostics in Xcode. Using Unity 2020.1.9f1.

I had this crash on iOS. I fixed this by only using OpenGL ES2.0 in Unity. You could try using only using OpenGL and turning off Metal. https://answers.unity.com/questions/1283609/gfx-device-intialization-failed-and-crash-on-ios-s.html

Here is an answer that worked for me. In my build settings, I went into Other Settings>Mac App Store Options and changed the Bundle Identifier to something other than the default com.Company.ProductName. I'm guessing I had some kinda name collision or something.

Anyway, I made it com.Company.ProductName2 and it worked. This is a workaround, so not sure what is causing the problem - my OSX-fu is weak.
