Cannot open Matlab 2024a after updating to MacOS 15.1

I see the error, The application “Dock” does not have permission to open “(null)” when starting MATLAB after updating to MacOS 15.1.

And I tried to open it in the terminal, it doesn't work,

shows:

% /Applications/MATLAB_R2024a.app/bin/matlab

env: /Applications/MATLAB_R2024a.app/bin/maca64/path_per_install: No such file or directory

mkdir: /bin/maca64: Operation not permitted

matlab: No MATLAB bin directory for this machine architecture.

ARCH = maca64

[Xue Wei]

yesterday I didn't reinstall 2024b, I tried reinstall 2024a, still doesn't work, but today I install 2024b, and I can open it, it's so weird

We are working with Apple, with the goal of them fixing this in a subsequent MacOS release. Details and recommendations are here: https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/2163080-why-do-i-see-the-error-the-application-dock-does-not-have-permission-to-open-null-when-starti
