Additional info
This is a fresh install of pgModeler, built and installed according to the instructions at https://www.pgmodeler.io/support/installation1x, using Homebrew's Qt and PostgreSQL packages and Apple's libxml2. No changes have been made, except the build configuration changes prescribed in the installation instructions.
This build has always manifested the crash described.
Web research on details of the problem report suggests a code signing issue, and certainly I did not sign the code manually. If that's a necessary step that the installation procedure does not automate then the installation instructions should cover it.
