Describe the bug

When I try to open the app from Launchpad, this error shows up saying: The application "Zenless Zone Zero" can't be opened. Although when I try to open Genshin, it works, only Zenless Zone Zero can't be opened. I opened this game yesterday, and it was fine, but it just doesn't work now. I have also tried to open it from PlayCover and Finder, but nothing happens at all when I click on the icon. When I enable SIP, the application icon shows up for 1 second, then disappears. There is also no crash log or anything. I am using macOS Sequoia version 15.2.

Steps to reproduce

cleared the playchain data
changed the application type to .games
deleted the game and then reinstalled it
opening the app with shift+double click in the Finder
enabling SIP

Expected behaviour

Another bug occurred before, and I resolved it by doing shift+double click, so I expected it to be the same this time. I expected the game to open after I deleted it and reinstalled it. I also thought maybe the game would open after I enabled SIP.

Crash log

What version of PlayCover are you using?

3.1.0

What version of macOS are you using?

Other (please specify)

Can you try launching Zenless Zone Zero from PlayCover with SIP enabled?
