When I Install jdeveloper on mac Using the Platform-Specific Installer. I get this error

Unrecognized option: -d64
Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine.

I'm facing the same issue. Apparently Jdev 10 deprecated the use of -d64 and -d32 options. So the installer crashes while checking these options.

I faced the same issue. My solution was to download the macOS version of JDK 1.8 from https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/downloads/
NOTE: The JDeveloper installer requires the actual JDK, not a JRE.
After installing JDK 1.8, I modified my .profile as follows:
---cut---cut---cut---
JH=$(ls -1d /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8*.jdk | tail -1)
export JAVA_HOME="$JH/Contents/Home/bin"
export PATH=$JAVA_HOME:$PATH
---cut---cut---cut---
In the case of multiple versions of the JDK 1.8 installed, the above method will take the latest installed version.
NOTE: After editing .profile, quit and restart the Terminal.app in order for changes to take effect. Then cd to where you have the JDeveloper .jar files and continue with the installation as per the JDeveloper instructions.
