Google Chrome crashing on launch, OS X Yosemite Public Beta 2

▲

Just recently updated to the 2nd release of OS X Yosemite's public beta. A few hours into using it, I had Chrome crash, and refuse to start up subsequently. The strange thing is, Eclipse isn't working now either, and both are throwing similar crash reports (Exception Type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGSEGV) Exception Codes: KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS at 0x000000000bf001cc for both programs).

I'm attaching part of the crash report - I'd greatly appreciate it if someone could enlighten me as to how I can possibly solve this issue.

TIA!

Some apparently fixed the issue via this command :

sudo chown -R $USER ~/Library/Google

I had the same problem when I upgraded to Yosemite. For me, it was fixed by uninstalling and reinstalling Chrome. I don't use Eclipse, so I can't speak to how it might be resolved.

https://www.reddit.com/r/apple/comments/2n721c/temporary_fix_for_chrome_crash_in_yosemite_10102/

which is.

Put the following in a file "patch.m":

#import <AppKit/AppKit.h>

__attribute((constructor)) void Patch_10_10_2_entry()
{
    NSLog(@"10.10.2 patch loaded");
}

@interface NSTouch ()
- (id)_initWithPreviousTouch:(NSTouch *)touch newPhase:(NSTouchPhase)phase position:(CGPoint)position isResting:(BOOL)isResting force:(double)force;
@end

@implementation NSTouch (Patch_10_10_2)
- (id)_initWithPreviousTouch:(NSTouch *)touch newPhase:(NSTouchPhase)phase position:(CGPoint)position isResting:(BOOL)isResting
{
    return [self _initWithPreviousTouch:touch newPhase:phase position:position isResting:isResting force:0];
}
@end

Compile it:

clang -dynamiclib -framework AppKit patch.m -o patch.dylib

Use it:

env DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES=/path/to/patch.dylib "/path/to/Google Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google Chrome"

You can't close the process but if you don't want extra dock items, leave it in a detached tmux (or similar) session.
