After updating Visual Studio Code June 2024 (version 1.91) on macOS Big Sur v.11.710, It does not open the VSC.app anymore. It bounces 2 times and stops.
I deleted the code.lock file located at /Users/Name/Library/Application Support/Code/code.lock
I even restored it from my Time Machine backup and it does the same thing (bounces 2 times and stops).
Is anyone having the same issue, is there any fix?
I did all the steps below for troubleshooting.
Backup VSCODE via terminal
code --list-extensions >> ~/Desktop/vscode_extensions.text
cat ~/Library/Application\ Support/Code/User/settings.json >> ~/Desktop/vscode_settings.json**
Backup KeyboardShortcuts
cat ~/Library/Application\ Support/Code/User/keybindings.json >> ~/Desktop/vscode_keybindings.json
Remove VSCode From macOS
# rm -rf /Applications/Visual\ Studio\ Code.app
Remove Meta files amd settings/extensions
# sudo rm -fr ~/Library/Perferences/com.microsoft.VSCode.helper.plist
rm -fr ~/Library/Preferences/com.mircosoft.VSCode.plist
rm -fr ~/Library/Caches/com.mircosoft.VSCode
rm -fr ~/Library/Caches/com.mircosoft.VSCode.ShipIt
rm -fr ~/Library/Application\ Support/Code
rm -fr ~/Library/Saved\ Application\ State/com.mircosoft.VSCode.savedState/
rm -fr ~/.vscode
