Maybe try using the open command on macOS:
?
open -a /Path/To/Application.app
?
That is how I open macOS applications from shell scripts.

Another approach might be Apple Script, which can be exported into a self contained app for convenience. I've had mixed results with Apple Script, probably because I dont have much experience with it.

You can also create macOS application bundles with nothing more than a shell script in it, so you have a nice icon to click. It's simply a folder structure, with a couple files in the right places. (That is all application bundles are anyway, the OS makes them appear as a single icon, if you move/drag it somewhere, the whole underlying folder structure and files with-in it are moved).

I have checked my paths and everything seems correct I just cannot make that final step. Am I missing something or cannot I just not do what I've intended to do?
