Another macOS Codesigning/Notarization issue

Help,
I am trying to switch Notarization tools for the Apple November
deadline. I was using macOS Mojave with Xcode 10.2.1 and not (to use the
new mandated Notary tool) have to move to Sonoma with Xcode 15.0.0.
I have signed, notarized, and stapled (all responses returned were what
the lessons at Livecode.com by Matthias said they should be) a Livecode
9.6.10 Standalone using my Mojave system (the old tool) and it works on
Sonoma and Mojave
I have signed, notarized, and stapled (all responses were as the lesson
said they should be) a Livecode 9.6.10 Standalone using my Sonoma system
(the new tool) and I get an error trying to run it on Sonoma. It runs
under Mojave (although the first time the cursor spins a lot and it
takes a while to start)
The error is an extraordinary helpful dialog with a smiling macOS icon
that say 'The application "<appname>" can't be opened." and an OK button.
I though for a bit that it was that I was still building for Intel and
the Sonoma is a M1 macBook Air, so I changed the Standalone settings and
redid everything (again all seemed okay) and the GetInfo says Universal
(where it said Intel before) but I get the same message.
AGAIN, the old Notarization procedure produces an notarized (and
stapled) app (that is actually just Intel) that runs without error on
Sonoma on M1 MacBook Air and Mojave on Intel Powerbook, but the new one,
from the lessons for Xcode 13+ produced the error above and my app will
not run.
Security is set to allow App Store and Identified Developers.
Unless I figure this out, I will not be able to make new version of our
macOS app after November 1. Has anyone else experienced this? Has any
one see this message?
