Please try running the following command in the terminal application:
codesign --force --deep --sign - ~/Library/Application\ Support/obs-studio/plugins/advanced-scene-switcher.plugin

I am having the same problem with MacOS Sequoia 15.2, OBS 31.0, plugin version 1.28.1.
I tried your solution @WarmUpTill but it does not seem to solve it:

codesign --force --deep --sign - ~/Library/Application\ Support/obs-studio/plugins/advanced-scene-switcher.plugin

But when attempting to open OBS, I still get the notice:

Apple could not verify “advanced-scene-switcher.plugin” is free of malware that may harm your Mac or compromise your privacy.

Note, I'm using the universal tarball. The notice shows twice if I click Done.

@heathdutton I think what you are mentioning here is a different type of problem.
Please try holding down Control and click on the OBS.app, then select “Open” from the context menu.

@WarmUpTill I should have some time this evening to give this solution a try. Thanks for the feedback.

@jtroussard sorry the previous comment was only referring to the other type of issue reported by heathdutton.
For your problem I am unfortunately at a bit of a loss.
The only idea I would have is to completely remove the ~/Library/Application\ Support/obs-studio/plugins/advanced-scene-switcher.plugin directory and then try to reinstall it again.

Perhaps you are right and this is a different issue?

One solution was to find it in Privacy & Security, click "Allow Anyway" and one last time use admin credentials. I didn't have to do this till after the Sequoia update.
