Question
I downloaded "Tizen Studio 1.2 with IDE installer" and successfully installed the dmg file (100% completion). However, when I try to open Tizen Studio from macOS Launchpad, the "Workspace Launcher" window freezes. I can't select a workspace or click anything - the only option is to quit Tizen Studio.
Environment:
- MacBook Pro Retina 15" Mid 2014
- macOS High Sierra
- Note: Tizen Studio works fine on my iMac Mid 2011 with the same macOS version
Answer
Problem Understanding
The issue occurs when launching Tizen Studio on macOS High Sierra, where the Workspace Launcher window freezes immediately after startup. This appears to be a compatibility issue with Java versions on certain Mac hardware.
Solution Methods
-
Java Version Check and Reinstallation:
- Uninstall Java 9 completely if installed
- Install JDK 8 (not OpenJDK) following these steps:
sudo rm -fr /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-9.jdk/ sudo rm -fr /Library/Internet\ Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin sudo rm -fr /Library/PreferencePanes/JavaControlPanel.prefPane - Download and install JDK 8 from Oracle's official website
- For legacy Java support on macOS, install Java for OS X 2015-001 from Apple's support site
-
