  • Go to System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General. enter image description here
  • Click on the "open anyway" button.
  • Once it's done, try to open appium again.

enter image description hereInstead of changing from Preference .Try to open appium twice by doing a mouse right click . First time if you open appium by mouse right click, it shows error '/getting the error “Appium” can’t be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software'. Second time if you try right click it will show open button and Open option will be shown in context menu refer attached image

This is because of some security reasons in MAC os. You just have to follow these below steps:

  1. Click on the Apple icon in your system.

  2. Go to the System Preferences->Security Privacy-> General

  3. Click on the open anyway button from the bottom

  4. Run again Appium inspector screenshot

I tried the sam and it worked for me. Thank You so much Kiran

i believe problem is in 1.22.2 version 1.20.0 starts like expected (Monterey 12.2.1)
