[GNC] macOS Sonoma "Gnucash is damaged and can’t be opened" error

[G R Hewitt]

I have had that error on other programs. I deleted all trace of the app and
downloaded it again, most times that worked.
On the occasions it didn't I clicked on the button to clear the error - I
forget the options - and looked at the security screen for allowing apps to
run.
More often than not the app was there and I 'allowed it anyway' and all was
well.
Might be worth a try.
