I looked at the plist and it does indicate a minimum required OS version of 10.9. I should have been fine with that but before looking I upgraded to 10.14 Mojave.
The first error remains. Googling shows it has happened to others, there was some suggestion it was gatekeeper related due to a renamed executable? 

The second dialog does no longer appear for whatever reason, however the app does not launch. It bounces in the dock for a while and then disappears. I’m new to 10.14 so am not completely sure what Console log messages might mean. At first I thought errors that the application is not signed at all might be the cause and I would need to get an Apple developer ID. However, other apps look like they might put out the same message so maybe it is just a warning and not the cause of failure.

Other messages I see are…

Is the source for the launcher anywhere I can see what it doing and maybe do some debug messaging?

Do you want any of this bug reported?
