julia> create_app("MyApp", "mysolver", force=true)

Please note that I tried with more threads with the same result. I also tried JuliaC but it won’t work for my use case as I need stdin (readlines function) which is not supported by JuliaC yet. [Bug] `juliac.jl --trim` removes essential standard I/O functions in 1.12-beta3, causing compilation failure · Issue #58458 · JuliaLang/julia · GitHub
