Pygame quitting unexpectedly (MacOS problem)

Question

on my mac I ran pygame and never got it working and I've done my research and found no conclusion.

The code I used to bring up some sort of screen...

import pygame
from pygame.locals import *

pygame.init()

win = pygame.display.set_mode((400,400))
pygame.display.set_caption("My first game")
clock = pygame.time.Clock()

run = True
while run:

    # handle events
    for event in pygame.event.get():
        if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
             run = False

    # update game objects
    # [...]

# clear display
win.fill((0, 0, 0))

# draw game objects
# [...]

# update display
pygame.display.flip()

# limit frames per second
clock.tick(60) 

pygame.quit()

The python launcher logo jumps up and down for a second and comes up with python quit unexepctedly

You aren't telling pygame to run any events, and so the window just closes and the program stops.

the problem is still there check my code above to help – PythonNoob123 May 31 '21 at 21:13
The program works on my OS, so it is most probably something wrong with MacOS. Have you tried other code with pygame, and did you run other projects with pygame? – Quantalabs May 31 '21 at 23:12
yes the official examples too and the same problem came up – PythonNoob123 Jun 01 '21 at 21:47
