Comment (by andeux):

 I had this issue with the emacs-app port on an intel mac running 15.2, and
 can confirm it is corrected by the codesign command in the thread for
 homebrew emacs linked above.
 {{{
 sudo codesign --force --deep --sign - -v --strip-disallowed-xattrs
 /Applications/MacPorts/Emacs.app
 }}}

 I did not see the same problem on a mac with apple silicon. I thought
 there might be some other configuration difference between my machines
 causing the issue, but people in the homebrew thread also said that this
 was only happening on intel macs.
