For full transparency I am on the MacOS Sonoma beta, but since we are getting close to a release version I thought it would be ok to at least bring this to the groups attention to raise awareness of a potential issue.
Current MacOS version is Sonoma Dev Beta 7. Lightroom is version 6.5.
I am attempting to migrate my Apple Photos library to Lightroom (cloud version). All goes well until it hits the Album Creation stage. It gets stuck, the system says it is out of memory, and eventually crashes.
I have noticed that through the migration process the process VTDecoderXPCService consumes more and more system ram as the process moves forward. Once the system hits full ram (16gb in my case) + 40gb of swap it crashes the system.
I did try manually killing that process and letting it restart in an attempt to keep ram usage under control, but when I kill it the ram usage just moves over to a process called kernal_task and VTDecoderXPCService just starts growing again.
If I try to resume the migration in Lightroom after the crash it gets stuck at 30% (Marking catalog as migrated). I've let it sit at this step overnight and there is no progress.
I have also tried wiping my Apple Photos library file and letting it generate a fresh library from the cloud just incase something in my library was the issue.
I'm willing to do anything needed to help the team diagnose if needed.
