RStudio Not Loading on macOS Ventura 13.7

Hello,

I am experiencing an issue with RStudio on my Mac running macOS Ventura 13.7. When I attempt to open RStudio, it doesn't fully load; only the blue R circle appears, and it remains on the screen indefinitely without opening the application. I've tried several troubleshooting steps including resetting RStudio's state, uninstalling and reinstalling both R and RStudio, and restarting my computer. However, the issue persists after these attempts. Could you please provide some guidance on how to resolve this problem?

Thank you for your assistance.

If you start RStudio from a command prompt, do you see any error messages? You might also check the log file (if one is created).

Hello prubin,

Thank you so much for your advice! I followed your suggestion to start RStudio from the command prompt using /Applications/RStudio.app/Contents/MacOS/RStudio, and it opened without any issues. This prompted me to check the RStudio configuration folder, where I found the rstudio-prefs.json file. I deleted this file, and now RStudio launches perfectly from the regular application icon as well.

Your guidance was instrumental in resolving this issue, and I truly appreciate your help!

Best regards,
