How to avoid "unidentified developer" error by gatekeeper

As a developer of an app it could be quite a turn off if half of your users cannot open your app because they get following error.

This app has been published on App Store, so all the provisioning profiles and certificates are there. Now we want to put the app on our website, but before doing that we want to eliminate this gatekeeper hurdle.

The signing identity used for App Store submissions and for independent publishing are different. The latter requires a Developer ID identity be used. See Distributing Applications Outside the Mac App Store for more information about the process.
