Until it is fixed, see the section "Known issues / MacOS Catalina" in the release notes for a workaround: https://github.com/bisq-network/bisq/releases/tag/v1.5.9

Bisq can't be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software

This happens the first time Bisq is run on macOS Catalina. It is because a new security feature in Catalina has newer requirements of how apps are packaged. We are working on ways to address this (see #3402 and #4196 for details).

Workaround: Right click on the installed Bisq app > Click Open (warning popup shown again, but with new button available) > Click Open

FYI: Works as expected with the latest version v1.6.4.
