# Known issues

• TISTUD-8878 (opens new window) - Axway Appcelerator Studio support for JDK 9

  • Studio 5.0.0 and lower does not support JDK 9. It is currently slated to be supported with Studio 6.0.0.

  • To manually fix this issue, follow these steps:

    1. Make sure you have JDK 1.8.131 on your system. Look for this: /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_1131.jdk

    2. Edit the Appcelerator Studio.ini file which is located here: /Applications/Appcelerator/ Studio/AppceleratorStudio.app/Contents/MacOS/AppceleratorStudio.ini

    3. Force Studio to use jdk1.8.0_131.jdk by adding the following -vm argument before the -vmargs entry:

       -vm /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_131.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java
       

    4. Restart Studio.

• TISTUD-8953 (opens new window) - Mac: Studio won't start, hangs on initial dialog
