Arduino IDE 2.3.5 is not launching on my mac at all it sits in the doc bouncing, I perforrmed a fresh install ensuring application data was deleted before installing again and had no luck with getting it to open. infact when i run it from the terminal I only see a PID with no other log messages. Here is the terminal below:

I also have an ARM Mac. I installed 2.3.5, and I invoke the app via spotlight. I never thought of starting an app from a UNIX terminal window.
It sounds like the app is not fully installed. I am not surprised, given your comments. Are you 100% positive you downloaded the ARM version?
Maybe you should fix that permissions error first, that doesn't happen with a normal install.
Hi @sakethkantipudi.
This is probably because the application is already running. You will only get useful log messages from the terminal when you launch the application.
Try this:
- Control-click on the bouncing Arduino IDE icon in the dock.
A context menu will open.
- Select "Quit" from the menu.
- Start Arduino IDE from the terminal, just as you did before.
Hopefully this time you will see a log of logs printed to the terminal. Copy and paste those in a reply here on this forum topic. Hopefully they will give us a clue about what is going wrong.
the permission error is due to me trying to execute the whole bundle and not the binary, I've been stuck dealing with the issue for a good amount of hours now so I figured Id try anything, the bundle will not run as it is a directory and not a executable binary. I am positive I installed the arm version and have reinstaled many times, I ran it from the terminal rather than launchpad/spotlight so I could see the logs as it runs to see what error its reaching, the issue is I am seeing no logs when executing it
A common cause of that error is no internet access. On initial startup, a bunch of files are pulled from the net.
Hi thank you for the suggestion, I did make sure to force-quit the application when I ran the executable in the terminal messages above but had no luck thats why I was so perplexed on why I'm not even getting logs. Regardless, I tried making sure to check that the process is not running in both the activity monitor and terminal then running the command and making sure a process shows up on the activity monitor. I still get no terminal logs, here is a screenshot of the terminal:
Unfortunately I don't think that is it, I am connected to the internet
@ptillisch can I get any help on this am stuck on how to move forward
Here is where you can find the logs
