If I'm recalling correctly, XQuartz is no longer required for Inkscape 1.0 and higher.

What version of Inkscape are you trying to run?

Are you using an Intel or Apple Silicon Mac?

I have installed Quartz.app in my Utilities, but while opening Inscape I get the message "The developer of this app needs to update it to work with this version of macOS. Contact the developer for more information."
What should I do?
