If you recently updated your Mac and tried to install Docker Desktop you might run into the following issue:
You are likely to see this even if you have not install an antivirus, after multiple reboots, or clean installs including removing ~/.docker and /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.docker.* folders.
If you are in a rush to get things working the short-term fix for this is to make sure you have at least Docker Desktop 4.35 installed and then replace vmnetd from the docker app manually:
sudo cp /Applications/Docker.app//Contents/Library/LaunchServices/com.docker.vmnetd /Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/Then restart Docker Desktop.
The docker team is aware of the issue and is actively working on resolving it. For more information see GitHub Issue 7520
Update: Docker now has its own official recommendation instructions for resolving this issue but it’s not automated: https://docs.docker.com/desktop/cert-revoke-solution/#upgrade-to-docker-desktop-version-4372-recommended
