DMG cannot be opened because the identity of the developer is not identified even after sigining the DMG app stack overflow

I am trying to codesign the DMG application even after the app is signed from apple developer certificate. I am getting error of "DMG cannot be opened because the identity of the developer is not identified" while opening the app from the Application

I tried to sign the complete dmg generated from the appdmg and codesign both the ways

"code-sign": {
  "signing-identity": "Developer ID Application: ******* (4B9GHJ9X43)"
}

Verifying dmg signing from spctl

spctl -a -t open --context context:primary-signature -v **M.dmg
***.dmg: accepted

codesign -v ****.dmg && echo SIGNED! SIGNED! source=Developer ID

Another approach tried is signing the dmg again after the signing the .app

codesign -f -vvvv --strict --deep -s "Developer ID Application: ******* (4B9GHJ9X43)" ****.app
appdmg ./*****.json ./****.dmg
codesign -f -vvvv --strict --deep -s "Developer ID Application: ******* (4B9GHJ9X43)" ****.dmg

But i am still getting the same error

Any pointers on this is highly appreciated

We need to sign all the folders of the Frameworks that we are using inside the app and any dylibs that we generating ***.app/Contents/MacOS

codesign -f -vvvv --strict --deep -s "Developer ID Application: Corporation (****)" ***.app/Contents/MacOS/libncursesw.5.dylib

codesign -f -vvvv --strict --deep -s "Developer ID Application: Corporation (****)" ***.app

This will give you the prompt of your application is downloaded from the Internet do you want to open it and a Open button if are not downloading the DMG from the App Store
