Just upgraded to 2019.1 and am now seeing this startup exception in the logs. The app hangs at the splash screen. Any suggestions?

I'd suggest deleting IDE configuration and caches to start everything from scratch and see if it makes things any better:

shut down Webstorm
remove IDE configuration, plugins and caches:

rm -rf “$HOME/Library/Preferences/WebStorm2019.1″
rm -rf “$HOME/Library/Caches/WebStorm2019.1″
rm -rf “$HOME/Library/Application Support/WebStorm2019.1″
rm -rf “$HOME/Library/Logs/WebStorm2019.1″

Thanks, I deleted all of those suggested directories, and then created a new install without importing from my previous version (2018.3) and it works. So there's something being pulled in that is not compatible.

This was enough for me

rm -r ~/Library/Application\ Support/WebStorm2019.2

I also share with you an useful link from official supporting page https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/en-us/articles/360007568559
