Can’t Save AVIF on macOS

I haven't been able to save files to AVIF on macOS. This affects 1.8.6 and 1.8.7. I haven't tried in earlier versions.
- Take a screenshot.
- Open it in XnViewMP and go to File ⭢ Save as…
- The dialog briefly appears, and is immediately replaced by An error occurred during saving!
I've tried different settings under
Preferences ⭢ Formats ⭢ Write, with no effect. The same also happens in Batch Convert. Saving all other file formats succeeds.

I’m running macOS Sequoia 15.4 RC, on a 2019 Intel iMac, but this was happening in 15.3 as well, if I remember correctly.

Ah, okay. Thanks for the update. Is an update possible to encode on Intel Macs as well?
