I downloaded the dmg file from a know Github repo - Well this is common behavior on Apple macOS, where when you download an application setup from the internet, it blocks it for security reasons. now, how can I get pass through this warning and run the emulator!

Steps to fix this warning:
  1. Click on Cancel on the message,
  2. Now go to Apple Menu: System Preferences...
  3. Click on Security & Privacy,
  4. Go to Genrals Tab,
  5. Here you should see "Allow apps downloaded from: "Android Emulator" was blocked from use. because it is not from an identified developer.
  6. Click on the lock to Autenticate and make changes:
  7. Click on open Anyways
  8. You will again see a warning: Just click on Open button
  9. macOS cannot verify the developer of “Android Emulator”. 
    Are you sure you want to open it?
    
    By opening this app, you will be overriding system security 
    which can expose your computer and personal information
     to malware that may harm your Mac or compromise your
     privacy.

You would see that the emulator window opens up, you will see a message to how to connect this emulator with Android Studio,
