On macOS, if you download the archive with the browser, the strict security checks on recent macOS will prevent it to run, and complain that the program is damaged. That’s obviously not true, and the fix is simple, you need to remove the com.apple.quarantine extended attribute.
$ xattr -d com.apple.quarantine ~/Downloads/Espressif-IDE-x.x.x-macosx.cocoa.x86_64.tar.gz
After un-archiving, if the application still complains, check/remove the attribute from the Espressif-IDE.app folder too:
$ xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine ~/Downloads/Espressif-IDE.app
