Cannot run newly-installed Docker Desktop on Mac: "the developer cannot be verified"

Docker Desktop
1

Hello,

I cannot get Docker Desktop to run after installation onto my Mac (Apple M1 Max, Sonoma 14.7.6).

I have tried in two ways:

  1. I have tried via downloading the .dmg file, double-clicking it, and dragging Docker into my Applications folder.
  2. I have tried via running brew install --cask docker from Terminal.

When I try (1), it drags Docker into Applications, but when I double-click it, it pops up an error message saying "Docker.app" cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified. macOS cannot verify that this app is free from malware. This file was downloaded on an unknown date. Then the application is removed from my Applications folder.

When I try (2), I get the same error as soon as I try to run a docker command from Terminal. It quickly kills the zsh command and the aforementioned pop-up appears.

I already have it set in my Mac Privacy & Security Settings to “Allow applications downloaded from App Store and identified developers”

Does anyone have any insight into how to get past this?
