MATLAB crashes on macOS when setting breakpoint

Trying to set breakpoints to debug my code on a macOS, and it causes MATLAB to crash. It seems this is an issue with the macOS more than MATLAB, but I'm wondering if anyone has faced similar issues and if there are any quick work-arounds?

MATLAB Version Info:

MATLAB Version: 9.11.0.1837725 (R2021b) Update 2

Crash report info:

OS Version:            macOS 12.2 (21D49)

Exception Codes:       0x0000000000000001, 0x00007ff7fff35af8
Exception Note:        EXC_CORPSE_NOTIFY

Termination Reason:    Namespace SIGNAL, Code 5 Trace/BPT trap: 5
Terminating Process:   exc handler [27199]

Application Specific Information:
rosetta error: /var/db/oah/[bunch of numbers]

Cheers

Hi Luke,

I understand that you are experiencing MATLAB R2021b crash while setting breakpoint in macOS 12.2.

Please note that MATLAB R2021b supports macOS Big Sur (11) and macOS Catalina (10.15) amongst all the Operating Systems relevent to your case. I shall suggest you to install supported versions of macOS for MATLAB R2021b which is likely to resolve your issue. Or you can upgrade to MATLAB R2022a which supports macOS Monterey (12) as another option to resolve this issue.

You can find the system requirements for different releases of MATLAB here.
