We have an application which keeps throwing the error "application is damaged and cannot be opened. You should move it to Trash"
We have checked the following possible root causes:
Codesign of the application using the codesign command
Notarization of the application using the spctl command
Executable permissions
Checked for the presence of "com.apple.quarantine" flag for the application using xattr -l <path to executables"
None of the above listed items seemed to be a problem and are as expected.
Can you please help us understand what could cause this issue and how to resolve this without recommending an uninstall/reinstall of the application?

Starting from macOS 15 (macOS Sequoia), a new pop-up is triggered: “Local Network Privacy.” We have some questions regarding this new pop-up on MacOS:
Question 1: If a launchd daemon invokes a command-line tool, will this tool trigger the local network prompt if it attempts to access the network?
We use a launchd daemon which runs in root context and is started from /Library/LanuchDaemons/
Question 2: How will this prompt work across various macOS executables?
I have read other developer forum articles and the https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/663858 - Local Network Privacy FAQ. The responses are a little unclear and any insight into these questions would be very helpful with this new requirements.
