We try to create a crash dump directory into the app folder:
$ MacOS ./Google\ Chrome --headless
[1009/100340.443190:ERROR:crash_report_database_mac.mm(94)] mkdir /Applications/Google Chrome.app/Contents/Versions/61.0.3163.100/Google Chrome Framework.framework/Versions/A/new: Permission denied
[1009/100340.443558:ERROR:crash_report_database_mac.mm(94)] mkdir /Applications/Google Chrome.app/Contents/Versions/61.0.3163.100/Google Chrome Framework.framework/Versions/A/new: Permission denied
[1009/100340.443617:INFO:crashpad_client_mac.cc(295)] restarting handler in 0.987s
[1009/100340.590801:ERROR:browser_gpu_channel_host_factory.cc(103)] Failed to launch GPU process.
Workaround: --crash-dumps-dir=/tmp
