Premiere Pro 2026 Won't Launch – "App is Damaged" Error

Question

I've been paying for the Adobe Creative Cloud Pro subscription, but for months now I haven't been able to use the regular Premiere Pro app. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling it multiple times, but every time I launch it, I get the following error:

"Adobe Premiere Pro 2026" is damaged and can't be opened. You should move it to the Trash.

I usually end up giving up and using the Beta version instead, but since I'm paying for the full subscription, I don't think it's reasonable that I can't use the standard release.

How can I fix this issue and get the regular Premiere Pro app working again?

I’ve had this issue happen recently mid project. Luckily uninstalling and reinstall helped but for the price we pay for PR this should never happen.
