Can't run basic example in CubeIDE on Mac OS Error: failed to erase memory - Encountered Error when

Hello,

I'm trying to run an example in CubeIDE 1.13.1, but receive the following error. Strangely, executing that binary from the command line in terminal does work...

So this actually ended up being that the board was previously used and returned to Mouser...
All write protect bits were set... SPRMOD was also changed from the default. Opening up STM32Prog and resetting things from there worked and the board can now be flashed.
