MATLAB: Is MATLAB compatible with macOS Sierra

Is MATLAB compatible with macOS Sierra?

Best Answer

MATLAB R2016b is compatible with macOS Sierra. Earlier versions of MATLAB may work but we do not guarantee full compatibility with these releases.
Furthermore, there are a few incompatibilities to be aware of when running MATLAB on macOS Sierra.
Language & Region issues in MATLAB
When using certain Language & Region combinations, MATLAB may fail to load an appropriate character encoding for your locale. This can result in the MATLAB user interface displaying in a language different than expected. This may also cause text files to be corrupted when loading and saving.
For more information about this incompatibility, see the following article on MATLAB Answers:
Why does MATLAB fail to load my preferred language on macOS Sierra?
Language & Region issues in MATLAB Compiler and MATLAB Runtime
The issues with Language & Region also affect MATLAB Compiler and MATLAB Runtime. See the following article for more information:

Xcode 8 compatibility
Xcode 8 is not supported with MATLAB R2016b. MEX should be able to find Xcode 8 as a supported compiler, however we cannot guarantee that everything will work as expected when using MATLAB with Xcode 8.
No support for tabs
Apple added system-wide support for tabbed document windows in macOS Sierra. MATLAB does not currently support this feature.
