I know that this is unlikely the correct place to ask, but I don't know where I should.

So I have a normal macbook from 2016. I had Android studio installed a couple of months and worked with it just fine for a long time. Now upgrading to Mojave, Android Studio doesn't open anymore. I reinstalled it already 5 times, tried everything I found in the internet but still not able to start it. After installing and moving it to applications It asks me to open it, I accept and then it starts to bounce but never opens. I have restarted my Mac as well, tried different accounts. Any one with same issue who solved it or has any idea how it could be solved?

I am having the same issue and according to Android Studio's website, it seems like it only supports up to High Sierra. Scroll to the bottom of this page and look into the system requirements-> https://developer.android.com/studio/

Try to delete (or fix) your custom studio.vmoptions file (if it exists). I had the same problem, until i've noticed, that studio runnable file writes to log, that my studio.vmoptions (in my Users/myusername/Librery/Preferences/AndroidStudio directory) has wrong parameter. Then I just delete this custom studio.vmoptions - and android studio starts normally.
