macOS "The application Android Studio can't be opened"

Question

I am getting the error "The application Android Studio can't be opened" after updating my MacBook Pro to latest version 10.13.4 I am using Android Studio 3.1 I can open all the applications on my Mac except for Android Studio. I have searched on internet and couldn't find any related answer for this problem. Please help?

Answer 1

I've just fixed it by removing the studio.vmoptions file.

> rm /Users/{user}/Library/Application\ Support/Google/AndroidStudioPreview4.2/studio.vmoptions

Answer 2

I faced the same issue, which I solved by below steps :

1. Delete Android Studio completely from your mac
2. Install through the command :

   brew install --cask android-studio
   

Answer 3

I had this issue and it seemed to be caused by comments in my studio.vmoptions file

~/Library/Preferences/.AndroidStudioX.X/studio.vmoptions

Once I removed the comments, I was able to open Android Studio again.

Answer 4

In my case I had to do:

sudo chmod 644 /Applications/Android\Studio\Preview.app/Contents/Info.plist 

because it had -rw------- permissions instead of -rw-r--r--@
