Upgrade to WebStorm 2016.3 No Longer Starts Up
I upgraded to WebStorm 2106.3 and now the application no longer starts up. I've tried downloading a fresh install and downloading a previous version with the same result.
Here are the error logs:

Looks like the installation is corrupted. Please try re-installing from scratch; make sue to install in an empty folder, don't extract the installation over previous one
I have done that and as well as deleted the (
~/Library/Preferences/WebStorm2016.3 ,~/Library/Caches/WebStorm2016.3 ,~/Library/Application Support/WebStorm2016.3and~/Library/Logs/WebStorm2016.3folders). Same problem persists.
