Unable to run Visual Studio on macOS Catalina

Question

I am using macOS Catalina version 10.15.4 and I am unable to run Visual Studio Code. It simply says

The application “Visual Studio Code” can’t be opened.

I tried:

1. right-click and Open
2. Going to System Preferences » Security & Privacy. It didn't have the button 'Open Visual Studio Code anyway'
3. Moving the app to the Applications folder and running xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Visual\ Studio\ Code.app

None of these helped.

Screenshot is attached.

Answer 1

Open:System Preferences > Security & Privacy, navigate to the General tab and click Open anyway button.

Otherwise. Check some other alternative in this post: (do not forget to remove the quarantine extended attribute that’s set on the app): https://stackoverflow.com/questions/58457958/visual-studio-code-cant-be-opened-because-apple-cannot-check-it-for-malicious
