Can you please try with darktable-4.8.1-arm64.dmg which is for macOS 14 and above.

Same issue.

It says MacOS can't verify the source

I ran the following command and it says permission denied-
xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/darktable.app

I also ran -
xattr -d com.apple.quarantine ~/Downloads/darktable*.dmg

[MStraeten]

Please run darktable via terminal:
/Applications/darktable.app/Contents/MacOS/darktable -d common to see if there are messages indicating where it fails

Hi,
Tried it,

Pasting the screenshot below. trying to interprit it.

Check the permissions of the ~/.config folder, it needs to be writeable for your user.

sudo chown <username> ~/.config
sudo chmod -R 755 ~/.config

Then try again to run darktable.
