Compilation Error for Seeed XIAO nRF52840 Sense in Arduino IDE on macOS
Hi everyone,
I am encountering an issue when compiling a program for the Seeed XIAO nRF52840 Sense in the Arduino IDE on macOS. Below are the details of the problem:
System Details:
- Mac Model: MacBook Air M2
- macOS Version: Sequoia 15.2
- Arduino IDE Version: 2.3.4
- Locale: UTF-8 (already configured)
Board manager details:
Steps to Reproduce:
- Open Arduino IDE on macOS.
- Use the default program:
// the setup function runs once when you press reset or power the board
void setup() {
// initialize digital pin LED_BUILTIN as an output.
pinMode(LED_BUILTIN, OUTPUT);
}
// the loop function runs over and over again forever
void loop() {
digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, HIGH); // turn the LED on (HIGH is the voltage level)
delay(1000); // wait for a second
digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, LOW); // turn the LED off by making the voltage LOW
delay(1000); // wait for a second
}
- Select Seeed XIAO nRF52840 Sense as the board.
- Click on "Verify" or "Compile."
Observed Behavior:
The compilation fails with the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):

I'm experiencing this issue only with Mac, I tried the same with windows and it ran successfully. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Arduino ide as well.
