[Investigating] Some users are seeing an issue starting Docker Desktop on macOS where macOS reports that either com.docker.vmnetd or com.docker.socket is malware. The workaround is to: 1. Quit Docker Desktop and check that 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 "Install 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. 4. If this did not work, update to a newer version and rerun the steps (links here: https://docs.docker.com/desktop/release-notes/) More details in this issue: https://github.com/docker/for-mac/issues/7527

[Identified] The root cause has been identified: some files in existing installations are incorrectly signed which can be fixed by copying correctly signed files from the Docker.app application bundle. We are working on a proper fix.
