Currently having the same problem here. When I open the Arduino IDE on the Macbook M2 the app does appear on the Dock session, but it's not showed on the screen.

I moved your topic to an appropriate forum category @henriquedaluz.

In the future, please take some time to pick the forum category that best suits the subject of your topic. There is an "About the _____ category" topic at the top of each category that explains its purpose.

This is an important part of responsible forum usage, as explained in the "How to get the best out of this forum" guide. The guide contains a lot of other useful information. Please read it.

Thanks in advance for your cooperation.

Hi @henriquedaluz

Arduino IDE communicates with some of its components via an internal TCP/IP port in your computer on "localhost". These components are required for the basic functionality of Arduino IDE so if it can't establish that communication then the IDE won't start up.

The error shown in the log indicates something is wrong with the localhost configuration on your computer.

Have you made any modifications, or is there anything notable about your "hosts file", especially in regards to the definition of localhost?

The "hosts file" is located at /etc/hosts (AKA /private/etc/hosts).
