Probably distributed Minecraft.app is not notarized

Gatekeeper rejects to execute Minecraft.app distributed from https://www.minecraft.net/ now due to the binary is signed but (probably) not notarized.

codesign reports following:

$ codesign --test-requirement="=notarized" --verify --verbose Minecraft.app 
Minecraft.app: valid on disk
Minecraft.app: satisfies its Designated Requirement
test-requirement: code failed to satisfy specified code requirement(s)

The app bundle short version is 1097.

The dmg file contains this binary has following hash:
SHA256(Minecraft.dmg)= 5cff851878d06a2c5735a2000a8062e989934610c7a59b332152137e99b32bad

I'm setting this report to community consensus because @unknown said that they experienced the same issue in this comment from MCL-19830.

"Minecraft" can't be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software.

This software needs to be updated. Contact the developer for more information.

To make this issue easier to find

Could you please check whether this issue still occurs?

@pine1needle I just downloaded new one from https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/download and confirmed that the problem is fixed now.

$ codesign --test-requirement="=notarized" --verify --verbose Minecraft.app 
Minecraft.app: valid on disk
Minecraft.app: satisfies its Designated Requirement
Minecraft.app: explicit requirement satisfied

The app bundle short version is 1125.
The dmg file downloaded that contains the binary is SHA256(Minecraft.dmg)= 55b3d8ce87cca4e4ee8bddace10868b116e0781049a2edd8203f17cd00a3b04a
