I had a very similar issue - eventually after a restart I started getting the prompt to grant Accessibility rights - which were already ticked. Whatever I did, app launch triggered this request. I unticked and removed the app, started it, granted permission again and it finally opened. I am not sure what happened to the permissions, it was like Barrier couldn't see they were already set. 🤷‍♂️

Might be completely different, but I also had the same system log entries before the restart.

Restart did not help. I uninstalled and installed the application which prompted me for Barrier to use Accessibility privileges (Settings --> Security & Privacy --> Privacy). I unticked and removed the older application; and gave access to the newer application. Then I was able to start the application.

Here is the log after the successful launch of the application.
