I tried the solutions that your provided, but still got the same response when I launched it from terminal: ‘/Applications/IntelliJ\ IDEA.app/Contents/MacOS/idea

zsh: killed     /Applications/IntelliJ\ IDEA.app/Contents/MacOS/idea’. And I downloaded a new dmg package from office website.

I got this alert if I launched from Launchpad without more details, I tried a lot of ways, but didn't resolve.

Please help me!!!

What kind of dmg package did you download: for Apple Silicon or Intel architecture?

Are there any related crash logs in ~/Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports/? Please upload them to https://uploads.jetbrains.com and provide the ID here.

Did you install homebrew on your macOS? It can alter PATH, and potentially other parts of the environment.

Can you check Activity Monitor when starting the IDE? Are there any memory usage spikes?

Issues with environment variables (e.g., PATHSDKROOT) or your zsh login script files can interfere with how IntelliJ IDEA launches or executes commands. Check your .zshrc and other shell configuration files for potential conflicts or incorrect settings. Temporarily renaming these files and restarting the terminal can help isolate the issue.

Also try rebooting your laptop.

I'm seeing the same issue today.  Looking in the Console app I see:

mac_vnode_check_signature: /Applications/IntelliJ IDEA.app/Contents/MacOS/idea: code signature validation failed fatally: When validating /Applications/IntelliJ IDEA.app/Contents/MacOS/idea:

  The code contains a Team ID, but validating its signature failed.

Please check your system log.

I had to revert the version by downloading the standard version from https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/download/
