Blank dock, command+tab menu icon for application - RubyMine 7.0

Solution 1:

I recover from all sort of temporary dock corruption by killing the dock after saving work and getting ready to restart the Mac.

  • killall Dock from terminal app
  • log out and back in
  • restart the Mac

Barring that, you've got more serious corruption, but let's start with the quick triage first.

The next steps would be to make a new user account and repeat installing your app on that user’s desktop and drag it into the dock.
