Xcode: create app that passes MacOS quarantine without payment?

I've created a MacOS app in Xcode, with a 'Personal Team' based on my AppleID, and set Xcode to Automatically Manage Signing.

However, it appears that the app still fails to pass quarantine when installed on any new Mac.

The source code and binary ca be found here: https://github.com/benwiggy/APPlayMIDI

Is it actually possible to make an app that passes quarantine without paying Apple's developer subscription; and if not, is there any purpose in my code-signing through my AppleID?

I've posted on Apple's dev forums without answer.

The developer program, which is not free, allows you to be an Identified Developer who can notarize apps to be allowed thru the gatekeeper. As far as the fee goes, I pay more for my car tags every year; it is a good value.
