Signed but not verified by Apple

There’s a fair number of support tickets regarding Roon on Tahoe. Interestingly, out of the dozens of apps on my Mac, Roon is the only one marked as ‘signed but not verified by Apple.’ This might be a coincidence, but is Apple’s verification process really so expensive or burdensome that Roon decided to skip it?

Surely this simply means that the software is signed by a known developer, but wasn’t installed via the App Store?

Not only apps from the App Store are “verified by Apple”.

There is also a mechanism that allows for the verification of apps distributed outside the official store (Apple Notarization).
