1. On Finder, Go > Go to folder > /var/folders
2. You will see two letter folders like the below. Apart from zz, open each two letter folder and it’s subfolder until you find folders labeled with O, C, and T. Clear the contents of each of the O, C, T folders.
3. Restart your Mac

Once restarted, the apps on the macbook opened without issues an no longer showing the ? icons.

Hope this helps anyone!
