Description
QML applications crash on macOS 12 (x86), probably due to JIT code which is rejected by macOS. macOS 12 is listed as supported target platform for Qt 6.8.
Here's a part of the crash report (full file attached):

This bug was introduced with Qt 6.8.1 with the following change: https://codereview.qt-project.org/c/qt/qtdeclarative/+/599702
Up to Qt 6.8.0 the method canAllocateExecutableMemory() returned false on macOS 12 (x86), since Qt 6.8.1 it returns true, which later leads to the crash.
(Note: on macOS 14 (x86) the method returns `true` for both Qt versions, but the app does not crash.)
The crash can be reproduced using the Qt example "calqlatrexample". Add the following changes to its CMakeLists.txt:
enable support for macOS 12:
set(CMAKE_OSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET "12")
install entitlements file (file attached):
install(FILES app.entitlements
DESTINATION "${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/$<TARGET_BUNDLE_DIR_NAME:calqlatrexample>/Contents/Resources")
enable macdeployqt code signing by adding this line to qt_generate_deploy_qml_app_script():
DEPLOY_TOOL_OPTIONS "-sign-for-notarization=YOURCODESIGNID"
