We have brand new MacBooks with High Sierra (10.13.6). Other system info:

JAVA Version: java version "11.0.1" 2018-10-16 LTS

Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment 18.9 (build 11.0.1+13-LTS)

JAVA_HOME: /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-11.0.1.jdk/Contents/Home

When tried to open Android UIAutomatorViwer we're getting following error:

/Library/Android/sdk/tools/bin/uiautomatorviewer ; exit;

/Library/Android/sdk/tools/lib is not supported. Use -classpath instead. Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine. Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit. logout Saving session... ...copying shared history... ...saving history...truncating history files... ...completed. Deleting expired sessions...111 completed.

More details: Java is at: /usr/bin/java
