On MacOs Ventura, the methods listed here may no longer work
I got results by using sudo spctl --master-disable
After this, go to finder and ctrl+click the app
You get a prompt asking if you want to open the app
Click on open and you should be good to go!

Following @kiran -Instead of changing from Preference .Try to open appium twice by doing a mouse right click . First time if you open appium by mouse right click, it shows error '/getting the error “Appium” can’t be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software'. Second time if you try right click it will show open button and Open option will be shown in context menu 100% this works

I tried the sam and it worked for me. Thank You so much Kiran
