Okay I looked through the entire CI build and just like DiapDealer said, there were no issues.
So I snuck into my wife's office and borrowed her MacBook Air (which is an arm64) and downloaded the Beta2 build from my github personal repo.
Then I dragged it out of the Downloads folder to her Desktop:
Then in Terminal.app I did the following:
xattr -d com.apple.quarantine Sigil.app-2.6.0-Beta-2-Mac-arm64.tar.xz
which I always do with trusted software (since I built it!)
Then double-clicked on it to let Archive unpack it.
I was able to then Double-Click on the resulting Sigil application and it launched just fine (after telling Apple it was okay to open).
And it all worked for me.
So I am not sure why you are seeing what you are seeing? Do you by chance have some strange MacOS anti-virus software running?

No strange anti-virus that I've installed. Apart from the apps I use, my MacBook Air is a bog-standard Apple laptop - with OS updated whenever a new version is announced.
And my initial post indicated that I had checked the sha256 checksum on both downloads and both were ok.
My installation procedure was to double-tap the download tar.xz to unpack it inside the Downloads directory and then drag the Sigil.app to the Applications directory.
However, now for the good news.
I followed your procedure as you listed it (on your wife's MacBook) using the first of my Beta2 downloads and now I have a working Beta2.
It must be down to your line of code which I trustingly and blindly followed:
Code:
xattr -d com.apple.quarantine Sigil.app-2.6.0-Beta-2-Mac-arm64.tar.xz
Strange that Beta1 was ok but my MacBook didn't like Beta2. But I'll keep your code handy for the future.
