I installed the new Mac Sierra & installed the latest scala-ide (scala-SDK-4.4.1-vfinal-2.11-macosx.cocoa.x86_64.zip) but its showing above error on opening the application.

Answer 1

I also faced the same issue in sierra. There seems to be some issue with unzipping in sierra. Both double click as well as unzip command. I ended up using windows (i had windows VM in VMFusion) and used 7zip to uncompress the zip. After that, it open properly in Mac.

Answer 2

I have a workaround if you find interesting:

brew install Caskroom/cask/scala-ide

It worked for me and installed the version 4.4.1 on macOS Sierra 10.12.1.

Note: You will need to have brew installed so for instructions on that check this url: http://brew.sh .
