I upgraded to macOS Sonoma and SPSS will not open.
I had SPSS 26 installed and now it doesn't work
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.14
Look for VirginiaSlimm and follow those instructions. It worked for me once I did that on version 29.

If other users are having this issue, download the SPSS 29 patch from the IBM website:
https://www.ibm.com/mysupport/s/defect/aCI3p0000004Khs/dt243265?language=en_US
Once here, look on the right side and select the most current update. As of 16 Oct 2023, it is 29.0.1.1-IM-S29STATC-MAC-IF001.
Once the zip file is downloaded, copy the "libplatep.dylib" exec file and move it to SPSS.
To move it to SPSS, find the program in Applications (could read "IBM SPSS Statistics"). Open the folder and right click on the SPSS program. Select "Show Package Contents", and then open the "Contents' folder. Next open the "lib" folder and paste the "libplatep.dylib" exec (new patch) file from above. The user will have to select "Replace" for it to overwrite the current patch.
The program should work.

Apple wont let me download the file and indicates: “libplatdep.dylib” cannot be opened because it is from an unidentified developer.
How can I bypass this step?
THANK YOU !!! You just saved my master thesis :)
