Based on this comment on a different issue, it seems like macOS users need to manually add libc++.dylib to the same directory where Microsoft WebDriver is installed. Could this be done for us to make using WebDriverManager truly automated when using Edge on a Mac?

I've just committed a patch solving this issue. It will be available for the next version, to be released soon.

@bonigarcia Thank you very much!

[bonigarcia]

WebDriverManager 4.3.1 is out. This problem should be fixed in that release.

@bonigarcia Just retested using the same OS and browser versions after upgrading to WDM v4.3.1 and I'm no longer seeing the issue. Thank you again!
