Is the issue present in the latest development version? For future reference, please also write down the version number of the latest development version.
Yes (Dolphin MacOS 5.0-9431)
Is the issue present in the latest stable version?
Yes (Dolphin MacOS 5.0)
If the issue isn't present in the latest stable version, which is the first broken version? (You can find the first broken version by bisecting. Windows users can use the tool https://forums.dolphin-emu.org/Thread-green-notice-development-thread-unofficial-dolphin-bisection-tool-for-finding-broken-builds and anyone who is building Dolphin on their own can use git bisect.)
[First broken version number here (if applicable)]
If your issue is a graphical issue, please attach screenshots and record a three frame fifolog of the issue if possible. Screenshots showing what it is supposed to look like from either console or older builds of Dolphin will help too. For more information on how to use the fifoplayer, please check here: https://wiki.dolphin-emu.org/index.php?title=FifoPlayer
[Attach any fifologs if possible, write a description of fifologs and screenshots here to assist people unfamiliar with the game.]
What are your PC specifications? (CPU, GPU, Operating System, more)

I tested rumble for the controller and it works using Raphnet Adapter Manager utility on Windows.
Please see attached screenshots.

Does rumble work with your adapter on this computer in macOS in any other game/application? Which application?

I tried with Sixtyforce on Mac but no rumble there - not sure if it would even work since that's a N64 emulator. Sixtyforce says "You will know a controller supports vibration if you see a checkbox called "Vibration" when that controller is selected in the preferences. (The checkbox should be enabled by default.)" - I don't see any vibration checkbox for the GC + Raphnet there.
I also tried a couple of joystick test apps but they don't have a feature to test the vibration, only buttons.
I'm not aware of any other MacOS GC emulator or app I can try to test the vibration.
I tried Dolphin on Windows running in VMWare on my Mac - vibration works! Screenshot attached. So the issue is definitely related to MacOS or Dolphin on MacOS. No problem with controller or adapter.
If it would help I can donate a raphnet v3 adapter to the Dolphin project.

- Status changed from New to Working as intended
Sounds like the drivers do not support rumble on macOS. That's not under our control unfortunately.
You could try contacting Raphnet to see if they have a means to make rumble work on macOS.

The 6 1/2 Mac gamers who are still left will have to do without rumble it looks like :).
From Raphnet:
"The adapter implements rumble according to the USB HID PID class:
https://www.usb.org/document-library/device-class-definition-pid-10-0
It's not clear if macOS has built-in support for this."
I'm guessing that making rumble work on Mac would involve Raphnet having to develop a device driver that uses the Apple ForceFeedback framework + Dolphin supporting this hypothetical driver.
Some references I came across:
Tattiebogle Xbox 360 Driver
http://tattiebogle.net/index.php/ProjectRoot/Xbox360Controller/OsxDriver
https://github.com/360Controller/360Controller
"I have created a USB driver which allows you to use wired XBox 360 Controllers via USB, and wireless XBox 360 Controllers via the Microsoft Wireless Gaming Receiver for Windows, on your OSX machine, including support for the Apple Force Feedback library."
Rewired for Unity - supports vibration on some controllers under Unity

Vibration for Chromium (not done yet) (don't know if Mac support planned)
