Furthermore the dialog which opens when trying to start AppCode 3.1 offers a "More information" button to install the old runtime but the linked website http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1572 is empty.
However, you may use higher Java version at your own risk. Just change the value of JVMVersion from "1.6*" to "1.6+" in /AppCode.app/Contents/Info.plist. Be aware, though, that such changes are not persistent across upgrades and break signing for the app, so you may get firewall warnings on IDE start.
Would it be possible to release an 'experimental' build of AppCode EAP builds with a bundled Java 8, as is currently already done in the IntelliJ EAP program? I've been using that version of the IntelliJ EAP builds for a long time, with no major issues. It offers a way to use Java 8 without breaking code signing for users.
Yes, we understand your concern and consider that but prior to providing the build to end users it would take a while to test it internally. We'll keep you posted.
Sorry, guys, for misinformation. We actually do have a way to adjust Java version without breaking code signing for the app. See related: IDEA-94050 and SO post

Hi Thorsten.
The requirement was imposed due to numerous issues with Java 7/8, please refer to https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-125096#comment=27-779501 for more information.
So, for the moment, it's better stick with Java 6 environment.

I believe that was a temporary issue - opens fine for me.

Thanks, Tatiana! That worked.

Thorsten, Maarten.
file from to , then modify the value of JVMVersion from "1.6*" to "1.6+".Sorry, guys, for misinformation.

So, all you need to do is copy original
Hope that helps.
