Hi DriveVault Support Team,
I recently downloaded DriveVault (version 1.2.2, build 19) from the Mac App Store, but the application crashes immediately upon launch ("closes unexpectedly").
I am running macOS 14.7 (23H124) on an Intel-based MacBook Pro (MacBookPro16,1, Intel Core i7).
When launching the app via Terminal, it logs the following error right before crashing:

Assertion failed: (CGAtomicGet(&is_initialized)), function CGSConnectionByID, file CGSConnection.mm, line 419.
It appears to be an initialization issue related to the Menu Bar/NSStatusItem and the SkyLight framework on Intel architecture.
Here is the relevant excerpt from the macOS Crash Report (Thread 0):

I have already tried clearing the application container directory (~/Library/Containers/FullAccess.DriveVaultApp), but the issue persists.
Could you please look into this and let me know if a fix will be available soon?
Thank you for your time and assistance.
