Why
It's not possible to make assumptions on what ports are available on the different OS the IDE can be run, and the default port 50051 is already in use in some cases (such as OS Monterey).
This issue is particularly annoying for first-time users that should go into the CLI configuration and change the port manually, before running the IDE.
How
The IDE now force the CLI daemon port to
0
(automatically assigned from the OS). This ensure an available port is always picked up and the IDE can start normally, without manual intervention of the user
