[Bug]: ComfyUI Desktop Version Unstable on macOS 15.3

[DoffeBupt]

App Version

Description

The ComfyUI desktop version appears to have stability issues on macOS. After attempting to create a virtual environment and initialize the application, the process hangs or fails unexpectedly. This issue is reproducible with the following steps and seems to occur consistently.

Environment
• OS: macOS (Apple Silicon, M4 Max chip)
• Python Version: CPython 3.12.4
• ComfyUI Version: Desktop Edition (latest available as of 2024-12-25) (ComfyUI 0.4.2 - Build 241221fp3hq46zr-arm64)
• Terminal: iTerm2

Expected Behavior

The application should complete initialization, launch the interface, and function without errors.

Actual Behavior

The logs show a successful virtual environment creation (.venv), but the application hangs during startup.
•	Relevant log snippet:

Creating virtual environment
at: .venv
Activate with: source .venv/bin/activate
@todesktop/runtime: alwaysResolve: Promise timed out after 30000ms
@todesktop/runtime: skipping autoUpdater initialization because the build isn't released.

Steps to Reproduce

1.	Download and install the ComfyUI desktop version from the official release page.
2.	Launch the application. It initializes a virtual environment using Python 3.12.4.
3.	The terminal output indicates the virtual environment creation completes successfully, but the application does not proceed as expected. It hangs or times out.
