Bug Description

"Application is damaged and won't open" on recent and up-to-date Mac. Mac Studio 2023 (Apple M2 Ultra chip, 64 GB memory, macOS Sonoma 14.5 (23F79))

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Download the dmg file using Safari
  2. Move the dmg file to an empty folder
  3. Double-click the dmg file
  4. Move the application icon to the Applications folder (needs admin user authentication)
  5. Copy the application icon to the dock
  6. Double-click the application icon in the dock
  7. Become annoyed by the error message quoted in the bug description

Expected behavior

I expect to see the application running in step 7.

Device information

Additional context

This was the first time I downloaded and installed the application. My user account is unprivileged, and it's not an administration account. I was prompted for an administrator's password, which I gave correctly.

I did not see the usual warning that the application was downloaded from the Internet, and the prompt as to whether or not I should trust it anyway.
