I installed docker desktop for mac apple silicon chip for the first time, but i couldn’t launch it. I installed it as follows.
・Signed up with this official page(Get Started | Docker) and clicked download button for Mac apple silicon chip.
・Opened Docker.dmg file and dragged and dropped Docker.app into Applications.
・Did a spotlight search for docker and launched it.
・Clicked on the “open” button on the notification screen that says “Docker.app” is an app downloaded from the Internet. Are you sure you want to open it?
This is macOS trying to protect you from installing a software accidentally downloaded from the internet. The first time it happened to me when I updated to macOS 15.0. Then I went to “System Settings” and chose “Privacy and Security”. I scrolled down to the bottom of the window and there was a warning about Docker App. I don’t remember the exact options there but I could “Accept” I think or “Allow” it. Then I tried again and it worked.
Then I probably don’t understand when and how you see the error message. I had no problem with it. Can you share a screenshot about the message when it says the docker app was downloaded?
