I got my app notarized but I am still getting the malware warning message

This thread has been locked by a moderator; it no longer accepts new replies.

Hello,

I recently had my Electron app notarized by Apple and then performed the following steps:

Stapling the Notarization Ticket:

xcrun stapler staple "appPath/Aiparalegal.app"

Zipping the App for Distribution:

ditto -c -k --keepParent "appPath/Aiparalegal.app" theAIParalegal.zip

However, after unzipping and attempting to launch the app, macOS displays the following message:

Apple could not verify "theAIParalegal" is free of malware that may harm your Mac or compromise your privacy.

Yet, when I run validation using:

xcrun stapler validate "theAIParalegal.app"

I receive confirmation:

The validate action worked!

I then tried restarting my computer but the problem persist

Could you help me understand why the notarization validation appears successful, yet macOS still displays this security warning? Any advice on how to resolve this would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!
