MCL-13419Launcher would not start on OSx
When clicked on in Finder the Minecraft would just jump once and exit without any message.
When run from console it just prints this and terminates:

I tried to remove all javas (I had multiple versions), then I installed oracle 11.6 jdk using binary intaller, but the problem is still the same.

I solved this problem by reinstalling java and minecraft-Launcher.
I was able to work around the problem by adding
into /etc/hosts. Ping and all other services are able to do dns lookups correctly, so not sure why the Minecraft launcher can't.
How I found the workaround:
With the help of dtruss tool, I was able to find the launcher_log.txt (pity that noone pointed me to it - it's in /Users/[your_username]/Library/Application Support/minecraft/launcher_log.txt.
In the launcher_log.txt
I noticed
not sure why it does not work, as I was able to happily ping the address. I added the address to my /etc/hosts. After that the launcher tried to download bunch of files and crashed later. New log file nativeUpdaterLog.txt appeared in the same dir and according to it it failed to lookup the launcher.mojang.com. So I added that to /etc/hosts as well. After that the launcher started succesfully into login screen. I tried to remove the hosts entries then and it was still starting (but per log it was still failing to resolve the names). Only when I removed the /Users/[your_username]/Library/Application Support/minecraft it was failing again.
Hi, I am happy you resolved the issue. Be careful with your change however, as in the future if we ever change the IP address of our services, you could be running in to connection issues again.
