I've been using Big sur 11.0.1 Beta (20B5022a) on a macbook pro (13-inch, 2019, Four Thunderbolt 3 ports, and when i need to use SQLDeveloper this does not working, and just show me a message saying "The application “SQLDeveloper.app” can’t be opened." Does someone has the same issue ?

Keep your App inside Application and fire "cd /Applications/SQLDeveloper.app/Contents/resources/sqldeveloper
zsh sqldeveloper.sh" this works for me, It has been mentioned in Oracle docs also.

I wanted to reply to this question as well. The solution that worked for me also was this one:

Reading all the options at the end this was the one that worked
Launch terminal app
run the following command to list your Java Versions: /usr/libexec/java_home -V
From the output, the one that is causing the issue is: "Oracle Corporation" - "Java" /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin/Contents/Home"; You'll need to remove this
To remove, type in the following command: sudo rm -rf "/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin/"

If you have a previous versions, first you delete the same and follow these steps. On Monterey(latest version) it is working for me even I had same problem.
