"Beginning in macOS 10.15, notarization is required by default for all software." https://developer.apple.com/documentation/security/notarizing_your_app_before_distribution https://developer.apple.com/documentation/security/notarizin... Notarization requires that the software is signed with a certificate obtained from your $100/yr Apple Developer membership.

You don’t have to have a paid developer account.

  Do you have a source of this? I was unable to notarize my software with my free Apple Developer ID account, so I paid $100 this year. This question (https://forums.developer.apple.com/thread/121113 https://forums.developer.apple.com/thread/121113) seems to be answered "no". I would love to be mistaken so I can treat my family to a fancy meal tonight.

      My subscription is about to run out in a few months, so I'll let it expire and test this, as it would save a bit of money, and a continuous Apple Developer membership isn't necessary in order to sign apps infrequently.

If you don't have a membership, you're not signing with a Developer ID certificate, so you're already requiring users to bypass Gatekeeper (with right-click + Open or by fully disabling it) to use your software. Those processes also bypass the notarization requirement.
