I download the latest version of both R and RStudio Desktop today but RStudio Desktop always fail to start-up then get crashed. It is of no use to reinstall it or previous releases after I uninstall it. I don't know how to resolve it.

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

That version of RStudio requires macOS 10.15 or higher. You can install up to macOS 11 (Big Sur) on the 2014 MacBook Pro. If you want to stay with your current OS, similar problems were reported using 2022.02 on macOS 10.14, but RStudio-2021.09.2-382.dmg worked while 2021.09.3.385 did not. See

Hello, EconProf,

My RStudio can run normally right after I updated the OS. Thank you. :smile:
