[QGIS-Developer] Crash in QgsAppication.initQgis()

[Asim]

Hello

I am a newcomer to GIS community and already excited by QGIS!  My first 
Python program using PyQGIS interface ends up crashing with SIGSEGV, 
please help!  I'm referring 
https://docs.qgis.org/3.16/en/docs/pyqgis_developer_cookbook/intro.html#python-applications.

The platform is MacOS and the rudimentary Python program I'm trying is:

     from qgis.core import QgsApplication
QgsApplication.setPrefixPath('/Applications/QGIS-LTR.app/Contents/MacOS', 
True)
     app = QgsApplication([], False)
     app.initQgis() # SIGSEGV happens here

The stack trace indicates QgsProject failed to get created because 
sqlite3_create_function_v2() tried to de-reference a NULL pointer.  Full 
stack trace is attached.  Is this something MacOS specific?  Am I 
missing something obvious?
