jpackaged .app not compatible with macOS sandboxing?

[Kevin Rushforth]

I have seen this problem running robot-based tests on Mojave using a 
standard JDK, so I don't think this is specific to jpackage. I had to 
grant permission to control the computer to the terminal used to execute 
java rather than java itself. You could try that as a workaround.
