Describe the bug / provide steps to reproduce it

  1. Download either Zed Stable or Preview from https://zed.dev/releases/stable

  2. Double-click on the downloaded Zed.dmg file.

  3. Drag the Zed Preview app to the Application folder

I receive the following error:

"Zed Preview" can't be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software.

Doesn't matter if it's Zed 0.117.0 (Stable) or Zed 0.118.0 (Preview).

Note: Zed worked last month but when I went to go update it, it now broke.

Environment

I'm unable to run that comment, since Zed won't launch.

Apple M1 16 GB RAM Ventura 13.6.3

I suspect it has something weird to do with NodeJS given what I'm reading in the Logs.

Just an update, I have tred the latest Preview (0.119.3) and Zed still won't launch.

I get the same error message:

"Zed Preview" can't be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software.

I think this is a result of a corrupted NodeJS install.

Could that be possible? Does Zed depend on NodeJS as an application?

Receiving the same error “Zed” can’t be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software." dialog. Machine specs and situation are exactly the same as ops.
