MAC OS and Arduino IDE updated fails to compile ESP-12E NodeMCU 1.0

Question

MAC OS updated last night to macOS version 10.15 Beta. Today, Arduino IDE will not compile a sketch, even after again downloading and installing the latest ARDUINO 1.8.9.

"Error compiling for board NodeMCU 1.0 (ESP-12E Module)" Worked yesterday.

Arduino: 1.8.9 (Mac OS X), Board: "NodeMCU 1.0 (ESP-12E Module), 80 MHz, Flash, Disabled, All SSL ciphers (most compatible), 4M (1M SPIFFS), v2 Lower Memory, Disabled, None, Only Sketch, 230400"

Error compiling for board NodeMCU 1.0 (ESP-12E Module).

Aside from turning off automatic updates, any thoughts and/or suggestions?

Answer 1

Well, It's because MacOS only run 64-bit apps, while Arduino IDE run in 32-bit. the solution would be you just have to load the newer version of Arduino IDE which in beta here. link to the beta version for mac.
