<p>Dammit, what was happening I don't know as a bit new to this MacOS thing. But, rather than double clicking on that stupid drive icon of "Bitcoin-Core" in desktop... I clicked on the drive icon from left-hand side pan from "Devices" section on Finder window &amp; it opened without any error. It's working fine now. Problem fixes guys.

Dammit, what was happening I don't know as a bit new to this MacOS thing. But, rather than double clicking on that stupid drive icon of "Bitcoin-Core" in desktop... I clicked on the drive icon from left-hand side pan from "Devices" section on Finder window & it opened without any error. It's working fine now. Problem fixes guys. What a waste of time. -.-
