Was still was suffering from the inability to find/raise emacs from Alfred and found this solution:
% cd /Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS
% mv Emacs Emacs-launcher
% mv Emacs-x86_64-10_14 Emacs
% cd /Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/
% rm -rf _CodeSignature
This worked on my install from https://emacsformacosx.com/ and according to the blog post, should also work emacs installed from brew.
