This is a known issue in MATLAB R2016b and earlier releases on macOS Mojave 10.14.4.

Please note that macOS Mojave (10.14) is not a supported operating system for the R2016b release. See the link below for the system requirements for each MATLAB release:

To work around the crash, upgrade MATLAB to the latest release.

If you need to use older releases, follow the steps provided in the bug report:
