Hi David,
did you already follow the instruction provided in the macOS section of 
the Download page available on the QGIS Web site at 
https://qgis.org/download ?

Tips for first launch
After installing QGIS, the first launch attempt may fail due to Apple’s 
security framework.

For macOS Sonoma and earlier: To enable QGIS, command-click on its icon 
in your Applications folder and select Open in the context menu. A 
confirmation dialog will display where you need to click the Open button 
again. This only has to be done once.

For macOS Sequoia and newer: To enable QGIS, command-click its icon in 
your Applications folder and select Open from the context menu. A 
warning dialog will appear; click the Done button. Next, navigate to 
System Settings > Privacy & Security and scroll to the Security section. 
You should see a message stating that “QGIS” was blocked to protect your 
Mac. Click Open Anyway. A confirmation dialog will appear; click Open 
Anyway again. This only has to be done once.
