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)
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

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.
Go to /Application dir
sign with local key:
sudo codesign --force --deep --sign - ./ApplicationName.app
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.
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.
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

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
Thank for that tip about clicking OK, Barney-15E. It's got me back into OpenScad 2021.01. Interestingly, development version OpenScad 2025.01 does open under Sequoia. (No doubt the situation will vary from app to app.) D
Removing items in info.plist had no effect for me.
I got the same outside Applications.

Worked for me, thank you!
THANK YOU! This worked great!
