Hi Jai, Thank you for your efforts with testing and reaching out to Apple. Given we do not see the issue with the bundled zlib, this is our best path forward for stability on macOS aarch64. Once we can determine the cause with the help of Apple, we can switch back to the zlib that comes with macOS on this platform. ------------- Marked as reviewed by lancea (Reviewer).
