Unable to open files on macOS via double-click

Summary

After associating a file type (e.g. csv) with zed as the default application on macOS, I get an error like Apple could not verify “my_file.csv” is free of malware that may harm your Mac or compromise your privacy. when double-clicking the my_file.csv file.

Description

I'm able to open the file without any issue using the File > Open menu or by dragging the file into the zed window. I'm also able to open the file using any other editor (e.g. vscode) when changing the system default application for the filetype and double-clicking.

I believe this was previously reported and the issue persists but with a slightly different error message on newer versions of macOS.

Steps to reproduce:

1. download any text file to your local system
2. right-click on the file and select Open With > Other...
3. select Zed.app and be sure to check the box labeled Always Open With and click the Open button
4. see an error dialog like

Expected Behavior: file should be opened Actual Behavior: a system error dialog is displayed and the file is not opened
