Question
I'm experiencing problems installing Tizen Studio on macOS Catalina. Here's what happens:
- I download the installation file and double-click it
- The installation appears to complete successfully
- I check 'Launch the Package Manager' and click 'Install'
- The 'Install' button disappears, but nothing else happens
- When trying to manually open tizen-studio/package-manager.app, I get a Java-related error popup
Additional details:
- Initially had Java 13 installed, then downgraded to Java 8 with no improvement
- Tizen Studio launches, but Emulator Manager shows "Emulator Manager is not installed"
- Suspect this is because Package Manager isn't working properly
Any advice on resolving these issues would be greatly appreciated.
Answer
Problem Understanding
The installation issues stem from Java dependency problems in Tizen Studio 3.6, particularly with:
- Java version conflicts

Solution Methods
-
Upgrade to Tizen Studio 3.7:
- Download the latest version from: https://developer.tizen.org/development/tizen-studio/download
