Cannot add any apps to Security & Privacy preferences on Catalina

Since the update to Catalina, I can no longer add any apps to the mentioned Preferences pane. For example, when going to the Accessibility pane ("Allow the apps below to control your computer") and adding an app via the + button or by drag & drop from the Finder, the action is simply ignored and the list stays empty.

Has anyone seen this problem? Any idea to work around it?

Which app would that be? It has to be written correctly to work. As you can see from my first screen shot I have no problem adding apps that require Screen Recording permissions.
