Apparently Apple broke macOS 10.15 support in their latest Xcode 15?!
I've recompiled the macOS release using an older compiler version which seems to have fixed it. Please download FreeFileSync 13.1 from the homepage again.

I ran into this problem in old macOS Big Sur v11.7.10 and macOS Mojave v10.14.6 too with v13.1 (no problems with v13.0) when I finally updated my installations. The updated zip file fixed it. It would had been nice if it was titled v13.1a, v13.1 (rerelease), or something to let users know! I was pulling my hair
