      I was advised by Minecraft Expert Support to open a ticket here.

       

      Brief description

      • When Minecraft.app is double-clicked after being copied into /Applications, a small window with "Updating Minecraft" and a progress bar appears for a split second, then immediately quits. Hence it is impossible to run the game at all.
      • Issue persists across restarts and reinstalls
      • Log files from ~/Library/Application Support/minecraft are attached at launcher_log.txt and nativeUpdaterlog.txt
      • I also note that ~/Library/Application Support/minecraft contains a folder called "launcher" which is empty (including hidden files)
      • ~/Library/Application Support/minecraft has no other contents apart from the log files and the empty "launcher" folder.

       

      Steps to replicate

       

      Solutions tried

      • Standard troubleshooting (reboot system, restart network, etc.) - issue persists
      • Deleting and reinstalling Minecraft.app (including deleting ~/Library/Application Support/minecraft folder) and retrying - issue persists
      • Uninstalling Java via Java Uninstall Tool (from java.com) and reinstalling JRE 8 Update 311 (from java.com), then rebooting and retrying - issue persists
      • Installing OpenJDK via $ brew install openjdk and retrying - issue persists
      • Running /Applications/Minecraft.app/Contents/MacOS/launcher directly - issue persists and error message thrown (see stacktrace_launcher.txt for stack trace)
      • Running /Applications/Minecraft.app/Minecraft Updater.app/Contents/MacOS/nativeUpdater directly - issue persists and error message thrown (see stacktrace_nativeupdater.txt for stack trace)
