This seems to be a known issue, but not resolved in the following link:

[Anki won’t open on MacOS - Anki Desktop - Anki Forums (ankiweb.net)](https://forums.ankiweb.net/t/anki-wont-open-on-macos/15590/29)

Added:

Post #8 worked in that link. I didn’t notice on my first pass. There are about 30 posts:

"Seems to work! Will post what I did for others who might be looking for a solution to this problem:

I deleted Anki from my apps folder, re-downloaded “anki-2.1.50+beta1\_43c41d76-mac-qt6-intel.dmg” from the link dae gave above. When I clicked the icon, it still bounces but doesn’t open, but when I invoke it via terminal (/Applications/Anki.app/Contents/MacOS/anki) it then opened."
