Finder does not have permission to open (null)

[Nermal]

I've updated from 14.7 to 15.1 and now I get the following error when trying to launch OpenSCAD.

There are a couple of posts in an older beta thread, but they never went anywhere and it's better to have a dedicated thread for this issue.

I've found that if I go to Show Package Contents and then run Contents/MacOS/OpenSCAD then it opens and seems to run correctly, albeit with a Terminal window stuck open. Does anyone have a proper solution for this problem?

You could try to give OpenSCAD Full Disk Access, open the app, remove the permission.

Didn't help, I'm afraid. However, it looks like it's not just me, and the comment from kintel implies that Apple has done something deliberately. Sigh.

Does the app show in System Settings > Privacy & Security ?.

or perhaps try making a copy of the app & recursively removing the quarantine attribute with xattr.

What's changed in runtime protection for macOS Sequoia

In previous versions of macOS Gatekeeper, Control-click could be used as a launch override for running downloaded apps. Apple has now changed that.

It appears under Privacy & Security/Files & Folders (where I'd previously let it access my desktop etc.) but it didn't appear under Full Disk Access until I manually added it.

Doing an xattr -cr on it didn't help.

How I wish Apple's error messages were actually useful...

I think short of disabling security, the developer will need to deal with it.

I'm guessing that codeSigningID & codeSigningTeamID being empty has some bearing on it.

The OpenSCAD devs have released a signed version and it runs now.

For other apps that might return this error, removing the signature of the app and self-signing it solved the problem for OpenSCAD 2021.01

codesign --remove-signature /Applications/OpenSCAD.app

codesign --force --deep --sign - /Applications/OpenSCAD.app

Yes! Confirmed working! Thank you

Yes, yes, yes, it's working. App SeaMonkey opens again.
Thank you so much, all of you.

I did essentially the same thing but of course, like you, I'd love to find a permanent solution to this other than keeping Terminal on the dock.

See the comments right above you; They have a solution. In addition, if you ever have to start a GUI process via Terminal, and you want to be able to close the Terminal window, disown the process from the shell. Like so:
1) ctrl+z (Pauses and backgrounds the process)
2) bg %1 (Continue job number 1 in the background
3) disown %1 (Disown the process - The Terminal's shell no longer owns it, so launchd takes over, which is the normal parent of opening a GUI app)
