发生场景
Source(s): https://forum.cursor.com/t/cursor-is-damaged-and-cant-be-opened/59272 Signal: 17,633 views; the accepted answer is confirmed by another user who had the same leftover process. Status: reported working by source, not reproduced by us.
问题
Dragging a freshly downloaded Cursor DMG into Applications ends with the macOS dialog saying the app is damaged. It happened with both the Universal and ARM builds.
不是这个问题时 / 边界
The DMG download is truly corrupt (re-download it).
根因
A background process, CursorUIViewService, keeps running after Cursor is closed or uninstalled and blocks the new copy.
修复步骤
- Open Activity Monitor, find
CursorUIViewService, and force quit it. - Drag Cursor into Applications again.
- Other fixes users confirmed:
brew install --cask cursor, or the Universal build from the full downloads page.
如何验证
Cursor opens normally.
风险提示
Do not run xattr -cr on Cursor.app or turn off Gatekeeper (spctl --master-disable) to get past this dialog. That skips a macOS security check and isn't needed here. (our inference)
