Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Currently the exectuables are built on Mac OS 11, so it is not compatable with lower version. We are working on a fix to support Mac OS 10.15

As it is the same issue with https://github.com/runfinch/finch/issues/53, resolve and tracking with #53

I'm facing the same issue on macOS Ventura 13.4.

Hi @himan085, could you provide the supported bundle by running: finch support-bundle generate Thanks

I was facing this error, but to my surprise when I started the VM by running the start command, it worked successfully.
