This is a MacOS issue to my knowledge - it is not notarized by Apple. If you need to bypass this you can run xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /path/to/app in the MacOS terminal (which can be risky depending on the software). That being said, it would be useful for it to comply with this

Update: This will not be happening in the near future (https://github.com/KRTirtho/spotube/issues/120#issuecomment-1979179019)

Well I tried to create a Developer ID but unfortunately, Apple doesn't accept Bangladeshi developer account applications https://forums.developer.apple.com/forums/thread/127494 https://discussions.apple.com/thread/255363512
