What's the problem? Describe what went wrong.
Running a freshly downloaded build of Dolphin by double-clicking the app doesn't work. However, running it once from the terminal fixes this. Afterwards Dolphin can be normally executed from the Finder.
What steps will reproduce the problem?
Just try to run Dolphin without having executed it before from the command line. Note that you need to have downloaded it from the Website. If you used the Dolphin Updater to update it from a previous version, this issue won't trigger.
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. 5.0-12051
Is the issue present in the latest stable version?
No
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.)
5.0-11807 (PR 8683 - Parse arguments before Qt)
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

Is there anything else that can help developers narrow down the issue? (e.g. logs, screenshots,
configuration files, savefiles, savestates)

Apple nowadays requires signing and notarization of apps to avoid these warnings.
A temporary workaround:
Open Terminal
Run the following commands, replacing the paths to the .apps
sudo xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine /path/to/Dolphin.app
sudo xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine /path/to/Dolphin\ Updater.app

Additionally, testing with 5.0-11805 indicates that this is probably due to an Apple change tightening up security.

- Status changed from New to Fixed
Dolphin is now fully signed and notarized, but I'm not sure which build. It did come out during the November 2021/December 2021/January 2022 Progress Report, though.
