Unable to Launch the Neo4j Console App After Upgrade to macOS Big Sur

[Ciro]

This afternoon I upgraded my iMac to macOS Big Sur. When I attempted to launch the Neo4j Console app in Terminal, it returned with the following error, among many other Java errors,
"The jurisdiction policy files are not signed by the expected signer! (Policy files are specific per major JDK release.Ensure the correct version is installed.)".

The database was running just fine before the upgrade.

Has anyone experienced this error? Any ideas on how to return my database to its former self?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Can anyone help me with this error under macOS Big Sur? I can't use Neo4j Community Server on my iMac.

Thanks in advance for your help.
