Hi everyone,

I'm using a MacBook Pro with M2 chip and I just updated my MacOS to 15.1. After updating, I found that I cannot open Matlab 2023a with the following error information:

The application “Dock” does not have permission to open “(null)”.

I guess this is related to the fact that 2023a is designed for x86 and the new OS might have some issue about emulation. Does anyone have a solution for this? Thanks a lot!

I reinstalled app and still couldn't open it, I take the solution at https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/2163080-why-do-i-see-the-error-the-application-dock-does-not-have-permission-to-open-null-when-starti#answer_1539425 , but still failed.

I try to start using the command line:/Applications/MATLAB_R2023b.app/bin/matlab

but output: env: /Applications/ MATLAB_R2023b.app /bin/maca64/path_per_install: No such file or directory

I have been tried 2021b, 2023a and 2023b, there is no way to open them. Do you have any other good suggestions????

Here's what worked for me to open Matlab 2023a after updating to Sequoia 15.1:

Locate the Matlab app in the Applications folder in the Finder.
Right-click (or ctrl-click if you don't have a right mouse button) on the Matlab icon in that folder.
In the menu that pops up, click on "Show Package Contents."
In the folder that opens, double-click on the "bin" folder.
In that folder, double-click on the file called "matlab" to open Matlab.

That opens Matlab using the Terminal (and can be equivalently done by typing the address of the matlab file into the Terminal). Therefore, it may take a minute to get Matlab to open, and it requires you to leave the Terminal app open while using Matlab. But after Matlab is open you can have the Terminal relinquish control of Matlab (for that session) by pressing ctrl-z in the Terminal window and then executing the following two commands in the Terminal:

bg %1

disown %1

bg %1 tells the Terminal to continue job 1 (which presumably is matlab) in the background, and disown %1 tells the Terminal to relinquish control of that job.
