From RStudio Desktop Will Not Start on support.rstudio.com

When I open Rstudio on my laptop, it pops out a yellow triangle with R sign and says nothing. I really don't know why I can not open it.

Hi there - welcome to community.rstudio.com!

Just to troubleshoot, can you confirm that you have both R and RStudio installed, and that you're attempting to launch RStudio by using the icon that looks like the one on the right in the picture below?:

If the answer to both of the above is "yes", can you please share a screenshot and let us know what your system details are (operating system and version)?

this is what it looks like when I open the RStudio. The R version is 3.5.1 and I use Mac version for RStudio.
Thanks for reply.

Hi Wendy, for RStudio start-up issues that you haven't been able to diagnose, a diagnostic report can be really helpful (you can run a report even if RStudio doesn't start).
If you haven't resolved this yet, would you mind printing the output from the report in a reply below?

I have a similar problem to the above. RStudio does not start all of a sudden. Below is my diagnostics report;
