Cannot open Android Studio 3.0 Preview, I have Android Studio 2.3 running in the same machine, Java 1.6 AND Java 1.8 installed, JAVA_HOME configured to the 1.8 version. Still this new Android Studio version doesn't open.
Trying to open it directly from the studio file, I got the following error:
allVms required 1.8*,1.8+
Cannot load JVM bundle: Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=3587 "dlopen_preflight(/Applications/Android Studio 3.0 Preview.app/Contents/jre/jdk/Contents/MacOS/libjli.dylib): no suitable image found. Did find:

Taking closer attention to this line:
libjli.dylib: file too short, NSBundlePath=/Applications/Android Studio 3.0 Preview.app/Contents/jre/jdk, NSLocalizedDescription=The bundle “OpenJDK 8” couldn’t be loaded because it is damaged or missing necessary resources.}
I tried find some problem with the bundled JDK, looks good, the archive downloaded has no issues. Anyone ever had something like that?
I was about to post the issue when I found the problem.
For me the issue was that libjli.dylib file in MacOS folder, it's not a file, but a symbolic link to the real file, but when I decompressed it, it lost its properties as a symbolic link, and became an empty file. Deleting the following file, and creating a new symbolic link solved the issue.
/Applications/Android Studio 3.0 Preview.app/Contents/jre/jdk/Contents/MacOS/libjli.dylib
this ^ guy links to this:
/Applications/Android Studio 3.0 Preview.app/Contents/jre/jdk/Contents/Home/jre/lib/jli/libjli.dylib
Given that your Android Studio app location is /Applications/Android Studio 3.0 Preview.app as mine, the following commands solved the issue for me:
First remove:
rm /Applications/Android\ Studio\ 3.0\ Preview.app/Contents/jre/jdk/Contents/MacOS/libjli.dylib
Then create a new link:
ln -s /Applications/Android\ Studio\ 3.0\ Preview.app/Contents/jre/jdk/Contents/Home/jre/lib/jli/libjli.dylib /Applications/Android\ Studio\ 3.0\ Preview.app/Contents/jre/jdk/Contents/MacOS/libjli.dylib
Just open Android Studio as usual.
