Arduino IDE not opening Apple Mac Studio M1

Development Tools IDE 2.x
1

For some reason when I open the IDE application now, it just blinks and does nothing else. I dont really understand how. I have read a few posts on here but none have resolved my issue. Any ideas?

Hi @whitson17. Which version of Arduino IDE are you using (e.g., "2.0.1")? The version is shown on the window title bar and also in the dialog that opens when you select Arduino IDE > About Arduino IDE from the Arduino IDE menus.

I ask for this information because I want to give you the appropriate instructions for the IDE version you are using.

I apologize, I should have included that. Im new to this forum posting thing. I am using Version 2.2.2-nightly-20231221 (2.2.2-nightly-20231221). I installed that version from a previous forum post to see if it would work.

I also just did a Time Machine install from a Macbook Pro (Intel) to this Mac Studio (Apple Silicon), so I wasnt sure how to check but knew it could be a Library mismatch or something.

I'm going to ask you to post some additional information that might help us to identify the problem.

:exclamation: This procedure is not intended to solve the problem. The purpose is to gather more information.

Please do this:

  1. Close all Arduino IDE windows if the IDE is already running.
  2. Open macOS Launchpad.
  3. Type terminal in the "Search" field.
  4. Click on the "Terminal" icon.
    A "zsh" window will open.
  5. Type the following command in the zsh window:
    "/Applications/Arduino IDE.app/Contents/MacOS/Arduino IDE"
  6. Press the Enter key.
  7. Wait until you are sure the IDE startup has gone into the bad state
    (as indicated by no additional output being printed to the Terminal window).
  8. Switch back to the Terminal window if the Arduino IDE window took the focus.
  9. Press the Command+A keyboard shortcut.
    This will select all the text in the Terminal window.
  10. Press the Command+C keyboard shortcut.
    This will copy the selected text to the clipboard.
  11. Open a forum reply here by clicking the "Reply" button.
  12. Click the <CODE/> icon on the post composer toolbar.
    This will add the forum's code block markup (```) to your reply to make sure the output is correctly formatted.
    Code block icon on toolbar
  13. Press the Command+V keyboard shortcut.
    This will paste the output into the code block.
  14. Move the cursor outside of the code block markup before you add any additional text to your reply.
  15. Click the "Reply" button to post the output.

Please let me know if you have any questions or problems while following those instructions.

The reason for this error is you omitted the quotes. Please try again, but this time use the command exactly as it was written in step (5) of the instructions from my previous reply.
