“SQLDeveloper.app” fails to open after upgrading to Big Sur I recently upgraded macOS to Big Sur and now I can't open SQLDeveloper.app. I am getting this message:

SQLDeveloper.app can’t be opened because the identity of the developer
cannot be confirmed

With macOS Catalina it was working perfectly.
A similar question was discussed here “SQLDeveloper.app” can’t be opened because the identity of the developer cannot be confirmed. I already followed the approach mentioned there, but that did not solve my problem.
Any pointer towards the solution would be highly appreciated.
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:



&quot;Oracle Corporation&quot; - &quot;Java&quot; /Library/Internet
Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin/Contents/Home&quot;

You'll need to remove this by typing in the following command:
 sudo rm -rf &quot;/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin/&quot;


Verify the currently set java_home path and update it as per sqldeveloper version you have installed
sudo vi $HOME/.sqldeveloper/20.4.0/product.conf


Add following entry if its not already added (you may need to change as per version)
SetJavaHome /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_221.jdk/Contents/Home


Working fine for me with sql developer 20.4 on Mac OS Big Sur
