I designed GUI via appdesigner. I copied that app to another computer. Both computer has same matlab 2023a version. Everything is same. But in another computer I can not set break points in appdesigner . Why that happen? Code is same, not different, same file.

"..., the app acts like "only creator can set breakpoint""
What does that mean? Are you getting an error message of some sort that has such a phrase in it? Post graphic of it, if so.
That sounds like an issue of an OS protections being set that some file location can't be accessed or somesuch. A <recent Q? here on a file access error> turned out to be caused by a symlink pointing to the file; any chance there are such in the install directories or at the location of the .mlapp file on the wayward system?
You probably will have to submit this to official TMW support to resolve; it simply can't be diagnosed remotely without more details than we have.

Not sure this is your issue, but I had a very similar issue. I copied via github clone from one machine to another with different matlab versions 2023a to 2021b. I got the same error about unsynced versions because MATLAB had to make changes to make the .mlapp work on 2021b. To solve this issue I had to saveas "new file name", then saveas "old file name". A simple save or ctrl+s wasn't cutting it. Once I overwritten the old file, I was able to break in the .mlapp code again on the new machine.

@Dan Harris, your suggestion worked for me. However, for me, the problem did not coincide with a version upgrade/downgrade.
