I am running Mac OS X version 12.0.1 also known as Monterey. I have installed the MultiWii program to control a drone I'm building. The tutorial steps through the download, extraction and even a special chmod instruction for MacOS. However, when I try to run the MultiWiiConf.app, the OS pops up a window with a ton of information about why it failed. Among the information is the following statement.

Library not loaded: /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/JavaApplicationLauncher.framework/Versions/A/JavaApplicationLauncher

I have looked quite a bit around the internet and nobody else seems to have this problem nor any solution for it. In attempts to fix this, I have installed and uninstalled many JDK and JRE. This never changes.

I'm not familiar with MultiWii, though I had a similar error when trying to run another (older) Java application. I was able to get it to work by replacing the JavaApplicationStub with universalJavaApplicationStub.

In short, right-click on the application and Show Package Contents. Go to Contents/MacOS. Replace the file JavaApplicationStub with the file universalJavaApplicationStub in the src folder of the universalJavaApplicationStub GitHub project.

The solution came from the following sources:
