I've had some apps refuse to run until I acknowledged their signer in the Security & Privacy section of System Preferences even though the quarantine bit was not set, unfortunately.

Did the app include a system or kernel extension? Because I'm pretty sure these always require Security & Privacy authorization even when unquarantined, signed, and notarized.

The two that I saw this were OrbStack and Podman Desktop, when their signatures were replaced (I think to ensure that their trampoline (launcher shim) apps could have the same signatures as the real apps).

Maybe apps that use Apple's virtualization APIs qualify here?

Here's the context of that experiment, after which I went back to installing those apps via brew and using them without such modifications: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41126387
