The application "Katalon Studio Arm64" can't be opened (mac os 15.2 + Katalon 9.74). Worked before

Yesterday I worked with Katalon Studio (version 9.74 Arm64) on my mac (os 15.2, with m3 processor). Everything worked fine.
This morning, I started my computer, but when I launch Katalon I just see a message:
“The application “Katlaon Studio Arm64” can’t be opened.”

What is the cause of this? And how can this be solved?

Thanks for your help.

Thanks for the hint.
Here is the output of the command, which shows an error:

❯ open -a /Applications/Katalon\ Studio\ Arm64.app
The application /Applications/Katalon Studio Arm64.app cannot be opened for an unexpected reason,  
error=Error Domain=RBSRequestErrorDomain Code=5 "Launch failed."   
UserInfo={NSLocalizedFailureReason=Launch failed.,   
NSUnderlyingError=0x6000035ec0f0 {Error Domain=NSPOSIXErrorDomain Code=153 "Unknown error: 153" UserInfo={NSLocalizedDescription=Launchd job spawn failed}}}

most interseting part of the error for me is:
NSUnderlyingError=0x6000035ec0f0 {Error Domain=NSPOSIXErrorDomain Code=153 “Unknown error: 153” UserInfo={NSLocalizedDescription=Launchd job spawn failed

Does anyone know about this error 153?

FYI @depapp

hmmm maybe you should try to upgrading the app version to v10

Upgrading to version 10 is not an option for me. My team uses version 9 and the setup is tied to it right now. So I need to use this version as well.
Also why should an upgrade be necessary, if it worked until yesterday fine, without any error.
There was no update on my system from the “it works” day to “it works not today”.

So does anyone know more about the logged errors from my message above?

got it @gordan.just

Taking a look right now!

I have ever seen a similar error half year ago.

Possibly not fixed yet.

@gordan.just Can you try to install KS again on another directory, and launch it again?

If the error still remains, can you resign the KS again? See the answer from java - The application “Eclipse” can’t be opened. (macOS Monterey) - Stack Overflow for resigning (change the path to KS accordingly)

Hi there,

I recently updated to mac os 15.3, but this did not make katalon work again.
So I uninstalled the current version of katalon, and re-installed the same version which I used for the first installation. The program is now working again.
So this can be closed.
