Notarization confirmation

How do I confirm that notarization actually worked on a MacOS app (not going through the App Store)?

I got back "success" from the server. However, when a user runs the software, they still get the "downloaded from the Internet" warning.

It was a lot of trouble to set up our build servers to do the extra steps of notarizing and stapling. What can I do to verify the app on the development machine?
To test your product, follow the steps in Testing a Notarised Product.

However, when a user runs the software, they still get the "downloaded
from the Internet" warning.

Right, that’s normal. Gatekeeper will always present an alert the first time you run a quarantined app:
  • If the app is properly signed and notarised, the alert will have a prominent Open button.

  • If not, the alert will contain some varying degree of shade and won’t let the user (easily) open the app.

For examples of these alerts, see Safely open apps on your Mac (from Apple Support).
