Cannot open Matlab 2024b (apple silicon)after updating to MacOS 15.3.1,m2pro macbookpro

I have the same issue. I'm using an M1max machine with 32GB of memory.

matlab2024a and matlab2024b both exhibit the same issue. It exits without launching. i'm using Sequoia15.3.2 and an M1 machine. I have the correct plist file setup in LaunchAgents.

I had exactly the same issue, and at first I thought it was my JDK version issue--I used homebrew to try different openjdk, from 17 to 24. None solved this issue. I also try using the official suggested Amazon Corretto 11 version of JDK, but the issue persists. Then I found an answer proviced by the official staff here, and following its suggestions solved the above issue for me. Specifically, it says

sudo /Applications/MATLAB_R20XXx.app/bin/maci64/registerWithOS

After that, Matlab works as expected. I hope it helps.

it did work. Actually in matlab2024bAppleSilicon version, the order should be:

sudo /Applications/MATLAB_R2024b/bin/maca64/registerWithOS

it's different from Intel version.

This is not happening to me on Intel MacOS 15.3.1

However, it sort of sounds like the problem that was recently faced opening older versions of MATLAB on MacOS 15.1 (older --> any version before R2024b).

The work-around for the problem at the time was to find /Applications/MATLAB_R2024b.app in the finder, and to right-click and to Show Package Contents. This would open a file chooser menu. From there, select the "bin" folder, and double-click on "matlab" within the "bin" folder.

I do not know whether this same trick will work with R2024b for Apple Silicon in MacOS 15.3.1, but it is work a try.

i have the same issue however, this tip above did not resolve the problem. I'm still unable to launch matlab.

matlab2024a and matlab2024b both exhibit the same issue. It exits without launching. i'm using Sequoia15.3.2 and an M1 machine. I have the correct plist file setup in LaunchAgents.

No use for MacBook Air M4 Sequoia 15.3.2

OK, R2024a runs perfectly on my 2023 Mac Studio M2 Max with Sequoia 15.3.2

However, R2024b gives a flash screen and then...nothing.

So, I tried your method using the "Package\ Contents/bin" approach. I got a Terminal window with the message listed below.

I'll try re-installing Corretto 11, or perhaps a more recent version such as 21.
