Xcode does not let me open existing project

On my MacBook Pro M3 Pro, I have got any kind of project (C, Java, ...).

By opening Xcode, on the main window I choose "Open Existing Project...":

then I choose one of my project folders in /Users/giuliano/Documents/NaTour21, finally, I click "Open" and this comes out:

This happens for every project. Is it mandatory to have a workspace?

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 14.2

If you use a command-line command such as the following on the directory and within the projects, does the quarantine flag show? If so, you will need ro remove that.

ls -ale@ /path/to/source/code


To (recursively!) remove the quarantine flag (aim carefully!):

xattr -d com.apple.quarantine -r /path/to/source/code
