since sequoia 15.1 I get the following error when try to start my application the application dock does not have permission to open (null)
Go to /Application dir
sign with local key:
sudo codesign --force --deep --sign - ./ApplicationName.app

It is not working from Application folder. If I expand the app > Contents > MacOS and start it from JavaAppLauncher it works but it is not a desirable solution.
Not working for me - I don´t get the option Open anyway.

That article seems misinformed. I just downloaded and ran OpenSCAD (referenced as a now unusable unsigned app) using the normal method of running unsigned apps: Try to Open, Go to Privacy & Security and allow.
Perhaps it only affects some users. If it was intentional, I'm not sure why this still exists: Open a Mac app from an unknown developer - Apple Support

It will only appear after you have closed the original dialog window by clicking OK. If you do that and it still doesn't appear in Privacy & Security, there is likely more going wrong with your system that is related to why it shows (null). Being that it doesn't know what the package name is, it probably can't allow it in Privacy & Security.
SOLVED (for my case): After updating to 15.1, I had this problem, too. However, note that my case is: I have self-written, unsigned java apps in the Dock. These Apps are xxx.app folders with Contents/ and in there is also a self-written Info.plist file. This Info.plist contained too many entries, partly with no/incorrect data. Removing most of them and only using CFBundleExecutable, CFBundleIconFile, CFBundleDisplayName solved my problem. However, for my case here, the main executable is merely a shell script in the MacOS folder, so for your problem that may be more complicated. In any case, it might help to look into the Info.plist file and try to fix (or remove) something there.
Remove the ones you can't from the Taskbar and fire up the app from the Application folder and keep that shortcut in the Taskbar. See if the new shortcut works once you close the app and relaunch it.
I just put the unsigned app outside of /Applications and it ran.. So it seems in my case the just locked any unsigned app installing in /Applications folder
Removing items in info.plist had no effect for me.
I got the same outside Applications.
Try ctrl-click and Open.
I don't know why anyone is getting that error.
What app was it?
This one did not work for me.. The only thing that works on my Onyx.app is put it outside of /Applications after running xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Onyx.app
Worked for me, thank you!
THANK YOU! This worked great!
