Description

The GUI (version Intel (x86) installed from the .io) under macOS Catalina (10.15.7) does not launch anymore on my MacBook Pro (I had no issues to use it last week).

It blocks at:
"There was an error trying to run the install (null)."

When running the ```keybase``` command, it seems a lib is not loaded:
```
➜ ~ keybase
dyld: Library not loaded: /System/Library/Frameworks/UniformTypeIdentifiers.framework/Versions/A/UniformTypeIdentifiers
Referenced from: /usr/local/bin/keybase
Reason: image not found
[1] 1782 abort keybase
```
Running ```keybase log send``` produces the same output.

Looking further, ```/System/Library/Frameworks/UniformTypeIdentifiers.framework/``` is actually not existing on my system, so I am puzzled on why Keybase would need to now load it...

Research direction

Reproduce with the Intel GUI and `keybase` or `keybase log send` on macOS Catalina. Start by checking why the installed binary references the absent UniformTypeIdentifiers.framework. Done means the GUI and both commands launch without the dyld missing-library error.
