Comments
macOS 15 (Catalina) added a requirement that the user give permission for any application to display a badge on its dock icon. Without this permission, any attempt by an application to display a dock icon badge will have no effect. This requirement applies to simple executables as well as bundled applications. Permission is managed using the Notifications system preference panel. I have verified (using JDK 12) that java programs are affected by this new requirement. I believe this explanation for the observed behavior is far more likely than a macOS bug that affects only Java and comes and goes with different OS releases.

This feature was added by the macOS port project and provided in jdk8 by the eawt on macOS only.

This feature started to work properly on 10.15.2 Beta (19C46a), so this fix might be reverted at some point.

Just an update. I have reran test on MAC 10.15 GA build as well and issue is still reproducible, application's icon was not set to string.

The suggested fix is to report this feature is unsupported on macOS 10.15 and above.

What happens if we comment out this line ? NSDictionary *registrationOptions = [NSMutableDictionary dictionaryWithObject:fApplicationName forKey:@"JRSAppNameKey"]; If it isn't working already, maybe we don't need it so much ?
