I suspect that you might be running into TCC issues. With SIP disabled, the process for applications to request permissions is broken. I ran into the same issue you're describing, and actually if I relaunched it over and over again, it'd work eventually.
Once I fixed the TCC db, though, it completely resolved. See https://www.reddit.com/r/BlueBubbles/comments/11ih8ig/sever_155_crashes_immediately_after_opening_macos/ and https://www.reddit.com/r/BlueBubbles/comments/10z0fhg/psa_getting_contacts_on_the_server/
The server application does open, briefly displays a blank white screen, then crashes. I have adjusted the proper SIP configuration according to the official documentation. Also attempted using earlier versions, including 1.5.4 and 1.3.0, with identical results. Starting the app from the terminal yields this error message:

UPDATE: Quick update: The issue seems to revolve around SIP. When I enabled SIP (on Monterrey), the application window launched successfully. When I disabled SIP, the issue from Ventura presented itself again. Thus, I am unable to access the private API features.
