See if Dropbox - LibreELEC.USB-SD.Creator.macOS.dmg - Simplify your life works for you. It's a version that I built that worked for me under Catalina until a recent update, and since then it crashes (which is why it's never been shared widely). You might get further on the older OS version though.

Re known status .. I appear to be the only person on the team who gives a fcuk about it, and I don't code so my options for 'fixing' it beyond a bit of patch picking from a downstream fork of the app code is rather limited. I've rather given up on trying to entice/lure others to care about it and I think we'll just have to bin the app completely. That will suck, but .. nobody else is lifting a finger so it will be the inevitable conclusion.

I pushed my most recent efforts to this branch Commits · chewitt/usb-sd-creator · GitHub .. I was able to pick changes from the UNRAID fork of the creator app heree GitHub - limetech/usb-creator: unRAID USB Flash device creator which allowed it to build/work on Catalina (aside from the usual errors you get from not being a paid-up/registered Apple dev) until a recent macOS security update. It now starts, shows the GUI, then throws an error and exits. I've no idea why or how to proceed further.
