Best Answer
Here are the Docker Desktop release notes with download links:
https://docs.docker.com/desktop/release-notes/
4.16.0: (2023-01-12)
Minimum OS version to install or update Docker Desktop on macOS is nowmacOS Big Sur (version 11) or later.
So the last runnable version should be 4.15.0 for Catalina (10.15.7) and it can be downloaded from this page.
URL don't exist forever and there will be a day, when this answer becomes invalid. I note the target URL in case they exist for longer.
- https://desktop.docker.com/mac/main/amd64/93002/Docker.dmg
- https://desktop.docker.com/mac/main/arm64/93002/Docker.dmg
In case of Catalina it is most likely the first link (amd64).
As last resort a search engine may discover the files by checksum:
Mac Intel: SHA-256 bee41d646916e579b16b7fae014e2fb5e5e7b5dbaf7c1949821fd311d3ce430b
Mac Arm: SHA-256 fc8609d57fb8c8264122f581c0f66497e46e171f8027d85d90213527d6226362
It seems that Docker Desktop 4.16 does not support macOS Catalina (10.15) any more.
If you don't want to update to a newer macOS version, you can install an older version of Docker Desktop which still works on macOS Catalina.Docker Desktop 4.15 works on Catalina.
You can install it this way using Homebrew:
# Download Cask code for Docker Desktop 4.15.0,93002curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/homebrew-cask/1a83f3469ab57b01c0312aa70503058f7a27bd1d/Casks/docker.rb -O# Install Docker Desktop from Cask Codebrew install --cask docker.rb# OR# if Docker Desktop is already installed then reinstall from Cask Codebrew reinstall --cask docker.rb
