After setting GPU backend to Metal and restarting Blender, Blender crashes a couple seconds after landing on splash screen.
Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
Open Blender
Set GPU Backend to Metal
Quit Blender
Reopen Blender
Blender Crashes 1-2 seconds after landing on splash screen.
If I open a project file instead of opening Blender itself I do not get the crash.

The steps to reproduce the bug are a bit conflicting.
Does the crash occur right after changing the GPU Backend to Metal or when starting up Blender?
I cannot reproduce this.
Please try the latest daily build: https://builder.blender.org/download/
Go to File → Defaults → Load Factory Settings and then change the GPU Backend to Metal to see if you still can reproduce this issue.
If the problem persists, please give us more clear instructions on how to reproduce it from scratch.
@mano-wii I updated the description of the error to be more clear about what is happening. I also loaded factory settings, saved the startup file, and attempted to open Blender again. The crash persists. Is there any file I can attach that would give you more details?

I was able to generate this crash report after installing the latest daily build:

This crash happened in a Python code, probably due to some addon.
Functions to highlight:
pygpu_shader_attrs_info_getPyUnicode_InternFromStringCan you disable the addons, and re-enable them one by one to identify which one causes the crash?
The add-on responsible for the crash is 3D View: BlenderKit Online Asset Library. After disabling that add-on, Blender opens without crashing. Likewise, if I re-enable the add-on Blender immediately crashes.
Changed status from 'Needs User Info' to: 'Archived'
In that case you must report the problem in the bug report channel for this add-on:
https://www.blenderkit.com/report-bug/
The problem is certainly in the shaders of this add-on.
As Metal is a relatively new feature in Blender, this problem must be recurring there.
If this is the right decision to archive, I don't know. !?
I'm not using this addon, neither is it enabled !
@Nurb2Kea, your problem is probably something else and should be reported separately.
It is reported and confirmed High, See above comment of mine.
https://developer.blender.org/T103393
And probably related, That's why I mentioned it here.

I already use latest daily build already same time I send report to your ticket.
There Blender 3.4.1 doesn't make crash.
Blender 3.5.0 make bad crash worst
You must use Mac to take test and Blender 3.5.0 need to fix code correct for GPU Back End [METAL] during active Screencast Key is on.
There is not ADD-ONS
There real BLENDER 3.5.0 see picture
@Kent-Davis hi, you've mentioned that you are using screencast key add-on.
Because metal backend is added in 3.5
I guess crash with these add-ons for metal backend will be fixed with #103863 (Metal Backend: Add fallback for Add-ons that use BGL or Incorrect shader-code with GPU module.)
Ok.
Added subscriber: @Jeroen-Bakker
Yes add-ons that use open gl directly won’t work on metal. Currently they crash. The idea is that the OpenGL calls will be accepted, but will not do anything when metal is active.
Addon developers, but also contrib addons have to be ported to use the gpu module in stead in order to work correctly.
@Jeroen-Bakker Thanks.
Blender 3.5.0 only.
Screencast Key on System GPU Back End [Metal] = CRASH
CAD_Sketcher-main on System GPU Back End [Metal] = CRASH
