Oracle Warns macOS 14.4 Can Cause Java to Terminate Unexpectedly

Oracle this week warned that the macOS 14.4 update (https://www.macrumors.com/2024/03/07/apple-releases-macos-sonoma-14-4/) released earlier this month for Macs can cause Java processes to "terminate unexpectedly."

In a blog post (https://blogs.oracle.com/java/post/java-on-macos-14-4) on Friday, Oracle's Senior Director of Product Management Aurelio Garcia-Ribeyro recommended that Apple silicon Mac users who rely on Java avoid updating to macOS 14.4 until the issue is resolved by Apple:

An issue introduced by macOS 14.4, which causes Java process[

es] to terminate unexpectedly, is affecting all Java versions from Java 8 to the early access builds of JDK 22. There is no workaround available, and since there is no easy way to revert a macOS update, affected users might be unable to return to a stable configuration unless they have a complete backup of their systems prior to the OS update.The blog post and bug report (https://bugs.java.com/bugdatabase/view_bug?bug_id=8327860) include more technical details about the issue.



Oracle says it has notified Apple about the issue. Apple did not immediately respond to our request for comment about the matter.
