This issue is because of macOS app translocation. If you haven't installed the app directly into /Application folder, translocator will start the program on random path.

Solution now: move blender.app directly to /Applications (not in any subfolder)
After you have started the blender once from there, you may move it to for example /Applications/Blender directory and it should work.

Another way is type in terminal:

# sudo xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine /path/to/blender.app

Where you set /path/to where blender is located.

I'll mark this now as resolved. Future macOS downloads should be all with signed images so this won't happen again. =)
