Issue Details

I created a VI in LabVIEW 2021 SP1 in macOS 10.15.7 and build this VI to create an executable file (standalone application) but in the exe, the entire screen is blurred regardless of English or Japanese version of LabVIEW.

Compare VI and EXE

There is no blurring of characters on the screen of the development environment.
How can I solve this issue?

Solution

You can edit the file Contents/Info.plist inside the built application bundle (e.g. My Application.app) and add the following lines at the end of the file, right before the final two </𝚍𝚒𝚌𝚝> and </𝚙𝚕𝚒𝚜𝚝> lines. 
 
   <𝚔𝚎𝚢>𝙽𝚂𝙷𝚒𝚐𝚑𝚁𝚎𝚜𝚘𝚕𝚞𝚝𝚒𝚘𝚗𝙲𝚊𝚙𝚊𝚋𝚕𝚎</𝚔𝚎𝚢>
  <𝚝𝚛𝚞𝚎/>
 
This should fix the blurriness in the app. If editing from the Finder, user will need to right-click and select Show Package Contents to be able to navigate to this file. The file can be edited with Text Edit or any text editor (or with a property list editor or XCode, if installed/preferred).
