Fix Code::Blocks can't open on MacOS

[nploc1209]

If you just downloaded Code::Blocks 25.03 for MacOS and opened with an error that some of the plugins are failed to load, here is the solution to fix it!

Step 1: Opening Code::Blocks on safe mode
With safe mode it forces Code::Blocks to open without enabling any plugins.
Open Terminal and paste this command: /Applications/CodeBlocks.app/Contents/MacOS/CodeBlocks --safe-mode (You can modify if the path is wrong with your Mac).

Step 2: Uninstall the plugin which is failed to load
Now, Code::Blocks should opened! Your mission is to uninstall the plugin which is failed to load (Lookup in the top bar, click Plugin section).
P/s: My Mac Sequoia open Codeblocks with error failed to load libspellchecker.dylib so I just uninstall Code Completion plugin and it works good!

Step 3: Re-open Code::Blocks
When you finished uninstall the plugin which is failed to load, your Code::Blocks should work properly after reopen!

Step 4: Happy coding!


If you still get any issues with Code::Blocks in your Mac, feel free to leave a comment!
*Known issues: Code::Blocks 17.12 Mac version crashed after choosing the compiler.

Thanks for sharing! I also encountered the exact same error on macOS Sequoia, and after opening Code::Blocks in Safe Mode and uninstalling the Code Completion plugin, it worked immediately. Basketball Stars
