GUI from 2015 to 2023

Hello,

I have been using one application which was built in MATLAB 2015a version with compiler 8.5. I wants to use that in my macbook air with silicon chip (M1). but due to the major dependency issue the application is not working in my mac. I have found its source code from github. how do i know what are the changes i need to make and how to i make this code to support in new matlab versions?

Do you know how the application was created? Was GUIDE used?

Hi Gunjankumar,

I understand that you are facing an issue to use an application created using GUIDE in newer versions of MATLAB.

Using GUIDE is not recommended for newer versions of MATLAB as it is to be removed in future release. Please refer the following documentation for further details:

https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/guide.html

Instead of using GUIDE, appdesigner is recommended to use for creating applications. Here is the documentation for details about App Designer:

For your current application you can try using 'GUIDE to App Designer Migration Tool for MATLAB'. For further details refer the following documentations:

• https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/creating_guis/differences-between-app-designer-and-guide.html

Hope it helps!

The changes in architecture and the fact that MATLAB 2015a is fairly old make it difficult to run a MATLAB program created using MATLAB 2015a and Compiler 8.5 on a MacBook Air with an M1 chip. Appdesigner is suggested as an alternative to GUIDE when designing applications.
