After effects didn't start. After effects 2025.app is corrupted

My After effects is showing the error: "Adobe After Efffects 2025.app" is corruptedt and cannot be opened. We recommend moving the item to the trash." I tried reinstalling, caleaning, downgrade to older versions. All without any effect. I am using a 2023 mac studio, Apple M2 Ultra proccessor with 128GB Ram and Sequoia 15.5 - german language. 
I also tried to delete the camera raw plugin in the CC-Plugin / library folder.  I read this in the foum. The other adobe prgrams are working well. Please help me... 
This window appers right in that moment after doublke clicking the symbol.

If all else fails you may want to try using the cleaner tool. Please exhaust all other options because this will require a re-install of all Adobe apps.  Please read this link:
