I have a LaunchAgent that points to an app in the applications folder:

<string>/Applications/xxxappnamexxx/xxxappnamexxx.app/Contents/Library/LoginItems/xxxappnamexxx .app/Contents/MacOS/xxxappnamexxx </string>

After testing the LaunchAgent in Catalina I found out that this doesn't work anymore. I changed the path to

<string>/Applications/xxxappnamexxx/xxxappnamexxx.app/Contents/Library/LoginItems/xxxappnamexxx .app/Contents/MacOS/xxxappnamexxx </string>

Everything seemed to work fine. Then I restarted the computer and the computer was totally borked. I got error message after error message. The helper app is set to stay alive. It does a mutext on startup. The mutex tries to access the temporary folder. Which wasn't accessible anymore. My whole development setup didn't work anymore. Right now I'm reinstalling Catalina.

Before I try again: is this the correct path? Are we supposed to use those paths at all?

Sorry, I don't have an answer I'm afraid (I'm trying to find where the LaunchAgents etc are kept - there's an App I set in Login Items in Users and Groups, and it just won't go away).

However, it looks like the two paths you provided are the same path - I did a diff on them and there was no difference.
