unable to load IntelliJ on Mac

Answered

Hi, every time I click on the IntelliJ shortcut it just bounces and nothing happens.

When I open package contents, head to the MacOs folder and select Idea I get this message in the terminal:

"Cannot load JVM bundle: Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=3585 "dlopen_preflight(/Applications/IntelliJ IDEA CE.app/Contents/jbr/Contents/MacOS/libjli.dylib) => false, tried: '/Applications/IntelliJ IDEA CE.app/Contents/jbr/Contents/MacOS/libjli.dylib' (mach-o file, but is an incompatible architecture (have 'arm64', need 'x86_64h')), '/usr/lib/libjli.dylib' (no such file)" UserInfo={NSLocalizedFailureReason=The bundle doesn’t contain a version for the current architecture., NSLocalizedRecoverySuggestion=Try installing a universal version of the bundle., NSFilePath=/Applications/IntelliJ IDEA CE.app/Contents/jbr/Contents/MacOS/libjli.dylib, NSDebugDescription=dlopen_preflight(/Applications/IntelliJ IDEA CE.app/Contents/jbr/Contents/MacOS/libjli.dylib) => false, tried: '/Applications/IntelliJ IDEA CE.app/Contents/jbr/Contents/MacOS/libjli.dylib' (mach-o file, but is an incompatible architecture (have 'arm64', need 'x86_64h')), '/usr/lib/libjli.dylib' (no such file), NSBundlePath=/Applications/IntelliJ IDEA CE.app/Contents/jbr, NSLocalizedDescription=The bundle “OpenJDK 11.0.12” couldn’t be loaded because it doesn’t contain a version for the current architecture.}"

I've tried to have a look for versions x86 JDK but it seems to only be available for Linux and windows. I'm quite new to this so bare with me if I've overlooked something.

 

Many thanks

Please make sure to download IntelliJ IDEA for Intel CPU, it looks like you download the version for ARM (M1) CPU instead. You can choose it on the downloads page at https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/download/index.html.

Craigward Download Apple Silicon version instead.

Double check your system reports the correct architecture by running uname -m.
