If you are running already macOS Ventura (13.0+) you need to do following to be able to start Bisq:

    enter following command in Apple Terminal sudo xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Bisq.app
    hit enter and you will be prompted to enter your password to be able to execute the command as super user

After running this successfully you should be able to start Bisq as always.

If this procedure still does not allow you to install Bisq, a last resort workaround is to install Bisq in a Linux Virtual Machine running on your system.  

 What do you mean by "download and install login another method?"

can't say anything more technical - work on it fresh approach 

 https://m.primal.net/Hjgp.png Did this half an hour ago. and 2.5 months ago.  

 "another method" = since this is one way of doing it 

 OK. Thank you. Trying to figure this part out right now.  

 I can't find where "allow unverified dev" option is... 😞 https://m.primal.net/Hjgj.png

 I still get the pop up the app is damaged you should trash it when I do the cntrl click on app and choose open from the down menu.  😟

 That just shows I am not alone.  

 Two months ago I was trying to follow instructions for some commands through terminal but that was a bit out of my league and it didn't seem like I was doing it right or something... Obviously... because I am back at this struggle 2.5 months later. UGH. Such a bummer. 

It must not be meant to be with bisq and me. 
 

 Try not to get discouraged, it will come around you also have robosats, hodl hodl, etc 

 I’m sending you all my energy that it hopefully works for you with this 

 Thank you!

I ended up clicking installing Update on my Os so now I am stuck for half an hour before I can use my System settings and follow some instructions. 

I am jumping in the hot tub! 

I might just give robosats a go again too instead after this.  

 Well that’s a good time to relax the brain a bit, enjoy the hot tub and afterward hop back on and give it another try.
