This is very similar it seems, to discover-why-godc-wont-start-on-mac but I Can't comment and what I have isn't an answer so I'm opening a new question.
I have this problem where the Go Agent won't stay running on my Mac. It launches and then quickly exits. The log seems like a java issue but I have Java 8 and then also tried java 11, and neither worked. Here is the output of the log, but I cannot figure out if the version of Java is the issue or if it's something else.
