I have tried “cvx_setup” both from “MATLAB_R2024b” and “MATLAB_R2025a” versions. Earlier, I had used a macOS Sonoma 14.6.1 with an Intel processor, where “cvx_setup” worked. Now I am using macOS Sonoma 14.4 with Apple M3 Pro chip, so I’m wondering if this could be the possible issue that cvx_setup is no longer working.
Thank you for your help in advance!
