I haven't looked at Matthias's changes, but this is probably just a matter of it having been built targeting the 10.15 SDK.  I don't expect there's any code change that actually _requires_ Catalina.  Assuming not, it should be fixable by setting the target to the lowest SDK that's still supported by Xcode, and making sure the values in the Info.plist correctly reflect that target version also.

Matthias, I'd also be happy to donate the cost of an Apple Developer Program membership to the project, so you can distribute signed and notarized Mac builds that launch without all those nasty warning dialogs.  :)
