I recently released several Tcl packages and some full TclTk apps for
MacOs ( see https://wiki.tcl.tk/Caligraft2025).
Most of these packages/apps contain some binary libraries (*.dylib) and
for the first run you are forced to do some non-trivial interactive
steps to meet some MacOS security checks.
 Is there a method (for a common user) to avoid carrying out all these
steps manually?

Congratulations, now you know why I've left Apple and went back to Linux after 15 years. In order to have the software accepted, it must be signed with a certificate, which requires a subscription (used to be $99/year). Also in newer versions of macOS, they made it more and more cumbersome to enable "sideloading" which is there term for getting software without using the App store. So for the "really normal user" you would also need to publish it in the App store.
Never done that myself, though.
