This is apple using some bad UI patterns against opensource developers not paying them. You need to use the context menu and the open anyway is only displayed the second time you try this: https://lapcatsoftware.com/articles/unsigned.html

I should include some screenshots on what buttons to click to get past this issue. Does anyone know how to get these prompts to appear again?

I am never going to pay and get this notarized, so better get some good instructions in place.

There's now additional instructions in https://github.com/stefansundin/vlc-protocol/releases/tag/v1.1.0. Please let me know if there's anything that I missed.
