Cannot launch docker desktop for mac apple silicon chip

Docker Desktop
21

I’m on Mac Studio with Apple M1 Max running Sequoia 15.4 and none of the above worked.

I tried all of the proposed solutions (including workarounds at GitHub) without success.

For me:

  • There are no Docker-related items in Settings > General > Login Items & Extensions.
  • I allowed Docker with full disk access in Settings > Privacy & Security > Full Disk Access.

At this time I’m stuck in all of my development activities. For example, I cannot develop and deploy anymore my projects and applications!

I’ve made a little progress: [Workaround in description] Mac is detecting Docker as a malware and keeping it from starting · Issue #7520 · docker/for-mac · GitHub

Huge. Incredible. Hours of frustration solved. Should be the default reply in this thread.
