Created attachment 175400 [details] Screenshot of the error message SUMMARY Since installing macOS Sequoia 15.1 it is not possible to start digiKam anymore. From all possible ways to start an application (in the App folder with Finder, from the Dock or Spotlight) I get the error message: The application "Finder/Dock/Spotlight" does not have the permission to open "(null)". I found out after installing macOS Sequoia 15.1 with my previous version of digiKam (cannot reproduce which one that was), and the error remained after installing the latest digiKam 8.4.0. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Install macOS Sequoia 15.1 2. Run digiKam OBSERVED RESULT Error message The application "Finder/Dock/Spotlight" does not have the permission to open "(null)". EXPECTED RESULT digiKam starting up SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS macOS: Sequoia 15.1 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Searching on this specific error message I see that other applications struggle with this too, e.g. OpenSCAD in https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/finder-does-not-have-permission-to-open-null.2441374/ The solution there seemed to be releasing a signed version.
Problem is fixed in the pre-release version of digiKam-8.5.0. There is now a version for Apple Silicon: https://files.kde.org/digikam/ or Intel: https://files.kde.org/digikam/legacy/ Maik

I just downloaded and installed the legacy version https://files.kde.org/digikam/legacy/digiKam-8.5.0-20241027T124153-Qt5-MacOS-x86_64.pkg and the problem still exists. Thank you for your time and efforts.
In my situation the 8.5.0 worked, thanks for your help
@Iede, are you using the Apple Silicon version? Maik
