+1, I'm facing the very same issue. Below is the thrown error: Error Domain=NSOSStatusErrorDomain Code=-54 "permErr: permissions error (on file open)" UserInfo={_LSLine=3845, _LSFunction=_LSOpenStuffCallLocal}}} Not sure what permission I'm omitting. Add to the weirdness: with the same method I can open "/Application/SomeApp.app" without an issue, but I can't open my main app from a bundled login item (the typical app launcher).

I was following an example invoking the inner binary via "Contents/MacOS/<binary_name>". Instead, passing the path to the *.app container to .openApplication() resolved my permission issue.

AFAIK Siri has never worked with encrypted DNS since iOS 14 introduced the feature. I can also confirm same behavior with macOS 12.6 today. Is Apple going to do anything about this? We're talking about a critical issue for VPN providers.

What worked for me was looking for this process and killing it: /System/Library/Frameworks/StoreKit.framework/Support/storekitagent Or, just killall -9 storekitagent.
