Android Studio failed to load JVM on Mac OSX (Mavericks)

Question

I am trying to setup Android Studio on my Mac. It is running OSX 10.9.1 Mavericks. I have installed the latest JDK (at the time of writing 1.7 update 45), and I installed Androi

Answer 1

I found that downloading an extra Java bundle from Apple fixed the issue.

If you search for this problem then I found the second link was to a blog having exactly this problem, all credit goes to him here

I know that posting links isn't an answer but as you can see from the resolution you need to make sure you have an up to date version of Java and also the Java bundle from Apple, for this reason I have also included the searches needed to get to these websites.

Here is where to download the latest version of Java

If this link is broken then searching "java latest version" return it at the top of the Google list

Here is where to download the Apple Bundle

If this link is broken then searching "Java for OS X 2014-001" returns it at the top of the Google list

For me trying to solve this problem it appears that initially it was an issue that required a work around and then Apple released an official work around download meaning that fiddling in plists is not necessary any more.
