Checks

Operating system

macOS 26.2.0 (25C56)

Expected behaviour

Installer completes and plugin is installed

Actual behaviour

error: Couldn't get JVM properties for IDEA Ultimate: Custom("Could not read
  plist file: Error { inner: ErrorImpl { kind: Serde("missing field
  JVMOptions"), file_position: None } }")

Confirmed via PlistBuddy that the key is genuinely absent:

  $ /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "Print :JVMOptions" 
      "/Applications/IntelliJ IDEA.app/Contents/Info.plist"
  Print: Entry, ":JVMOptions", Does Not Exist

Steps to reproduce

  1. Install IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate 2026.1 (build IU-261.22158.277) at
    /Applications/IntelliJ IDEA.app.

  2. Run:

    kiro-cli integrations install intellij-plugin
