Node-Bifrost is damaged and should be moved to the bin error on MacOS with Unreal Engine 5

I cannot seem to access the Quixel Bridge within Unreal Engine 5 on my MacOS. I have tried removing and reinstalling the plug in multiple times to be greeted with this error, and clicking on either move to trash or cancel crashes the whole engine. I am able to reopen the engine after moving the said "node-bifrost" file to the trash, but am unable to use quixel bridge - greeted with an error saying background service failed. I have enabled all the web plugins necessary.

 

 

This is my error log:

    Steps to install the custom build created to fix the issue on Mac Ventura: 
     
    1) Ensure that UE5 and Bridge are not running. 
    2) Navigate to UE_5.0/Engine/Plugins/Bridge/ThirdParty/Mac using Finder and delete the "node-bifrost.app" file present there.  
    3) Open the following link, download the zip file and extract. 
    https://drive.google.com/file/d/1U_ceBJraC6DEy3NlVcKjzYao3Fcb0xTt/view?usp=sharing 
    4) Replace the node-bifrost.app file under UE_5.0/Engine/Plugins/Bridge/ThirdParty/Mac. 
    5) Right-click on the node-Bifrost.app file and you will be shown a prompt.
    6) Select Open.  
    7) Launch Unreal Engine 5 and open up Bridge. You should now be able to download and add assets to your project.

    when I select open on the Node-Bitfrost I'm getting this message -

    “node-bifrost” can’t be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software.

    This software needs to be updated. Contact the developer for more information.-

    Me and one of my students are having the same problem. We tried downloaded your node-bifrost file. It won't open. See screenshot below. 

    When I click show in finder nothing happens. Usually that's the work around to manually open files

    After following the steps above and clicking on Open Anyway in privacy settings, I still can't open bridge in UE5. It appears for a second and crashes.

    Any idea what's causing this please?
