digiKam on intel Mac OS 15 fails to open when clicking on the icon

Software

Hi all for info, on Intel Mac following update to OS 15.1 when trying to open digiKam 8.5 (or 8.4) clicking on the icon I get the msg:

"The application “Dock” does not have permission to open “(null)”.

digikam is not shown in System Settings/Privacy & Security.

For info, darktable nightly builds opens with no issue after doing: Sysem Settings/Privacy & Security authorisation.

Only way I found to open digikam is going to: /Applications//digikam.org/digikam/Contents/MacOS/digikam, and on digikam do open with terminal.

Thus, I may be missing some authorisation in the security settings.

Any suggestions?

Thank you

Known issue with several tools. You might run the executable from terminal.

Yeah, I was able to open it with terminal too. Digikam 8.5 is coming out with a native app for apple silicon so this is pretty much the way to go until 8.5 is released.

Great, will run from terminal. Nice that darktable opens as expected from the icon.
For the apple silicon I am looking at the new Mac mini as a replacement of the intel iMac …:slight_smile:

I found the following fixes the issues for me after installations:

sudo codesign --remove-signature /Applications/digiKam.org/digikam.app

sudo codesign --force --deep --sign - /Applications/digiKam.org/digikam.app
