Warning:'"Docker.app" will damage your computer. You should move it to the Bin' on MacOS

Not sure if it’s related to Zscaler, but I started to receive this warning about the Docker.app the same day that I installed and restarted Zscaler.

Full warning:
"Docker.app" will damage your computer. You should move it to the Bin

I am using MacOS Intel.

    I solved extracting the Docker.app from the Docker.dmg after mounting it and copying it into /Applications/ using

    mv ~/Downloads/Docker.app /Applications/

    Another potential solution can be running the following command and dragging the Docker.app in /Applications/ again:

    softwareupdate --install-rosetta

    source

    There is an official response from Docker regarding attempts to resolve this issue, as well as suggested workarounds. The following is copied from the GitHub PR: https://github.com/docker/for-mac/issues/7520.

    Note: While I cannot confirm if the creator of the PR represents Docker, the official Docker account references this PR on LinkedIn.

    If you face this issue, try the following procedure:

    1. Quit Docker Desktop and ensure no remaining Docker processes are running using the Activity Monitor.

    2. Run the following commands:

      #!/bin/bash

# Stop the docker services
echo "Stopping Docker..."
sudo pkill '[dD]ocker'

# Stop the vmnetd service
echo "Stopping com.docker.vmnetd service..."
sudo launchctl bootout system /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.docker.vmnetd.plist

# Stop the socket service
echo "Stopping com.docker.socket service..."
sudo launchctl bootout system /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.docker.socket.plist

# Remove vmnetd binary
echo "Removing com.docker.vmnetd binary..."
sudo rm -f /Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/com.docker.vmnetd

# Remove socket binary
echo "Removing com.docker.socket binary..."
sudo rm -f /Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/com.docker.socket

# Install new binaries
echo "Installing new binaries..."
sudo cp /Applications/Docker.app/Contents/Library/LaunchServices/com.docker.vmnetd /Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/
sudo cp /Applications/Docker.app/Contents/MacOS/com.docker.socket /Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/

    3. Restart Docker Desktop.

    If that still doesn’t work, download one of the currently supported releases from the Release Notes and reapply step 2.
