Make sure of the following:
- There is only 1 version of MATLAB Compiler installed.
- The release of MATLAB Compiler installed is the correct version for the compiled application. Ask the person who compiled it which release of MATLAB they compiled it for.
- Rosetta 2 is installed. This is necessary since MATLAB Compiler does not natively support Apple Silicon Macs in R2023a and earlier.
