I recently ran into the below error when trying to run the Docker Application on my M1 Mac running on macOS Sonoma version 14.0.
Incompatible CPU detected
Error: required compatibility check: Incompatible CPU detected
We are sorry, but your hardware is incompatible with Docker Desktop.
Docker requires a processor with virtualization capabilities and hypervisor support.
To learn more about this issue see:

Diagnose & Feedback
Reset Docker to factory defaults
Quit
I was able to resolve this issue by downloading the correct installation (Apple Chip supported by M1/M2 ARM Silicon) and the latest version of Docker from https://www.docker.com.
You can clearly see the difference in the size of the Docker.dmg files, so I clearly installed the wrong version earlier.
