If this happens, just open System Preferences>Security & Privacy>General and click Open Anyway. More info here: https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/tutorials/export/running_on_macos.html#do...

If you get a warning that the file is "damaged," just run this command in Terminal and then it will open normally:
