Hi,


I have already developed and published several Air Apps for Mac OSX before. The last one was published on the Mac App Store in July 2015 - everything worked fine back then. This week I've finished another App for OSX using Flash CC 2015 15.0.1.179 + AIR 22.0.0.137 (for Desktop). The App is working perfect on my Mac (OSX 10.11.5) - but in order to submit it to Apple I have to replace the Iconset & entitlements and sign the App again.


Ok...


In order to replace the Iconset & entitlements I always used this Terminal Script (successfully!! :-) ):

cd /Users/essig/Desktop

cp MacProcess/Info.plist EyeFitness.app/Contents/Info.plist

cp MacProcess/Icon.icns EyeFitness.app/Contents/Resources/Icon.icns

chmod -R 777 EyeFitness.app

codesign -f -v -s "3rd Party Mac Developer Application: Jan Essig" EyeFitness.app/Contents/Frameworks/Adobe\ AIR.framework

codesign -f -v -s "3rd Party Mac Developer Application: Jan Essig" EyeFitness.app/Contents/Frameworks/Adobe\ AIR.framework/Versions/1.0

codesign -f -v -s "3rd Party Mac Developer Application: Jan Essig" EyeFitness.app

codesign -f -v -s "3rd Party Mac Developer Application: Jan Essig" --entitlements MacProcess/entitlement.plist EyeFitness.app

codesign --display --entitlements - EyeFitness.app

productbuild --component EyeFitness.app /Applications Eyenstaller.pkg --sign "3rd Party Mac Developer Installer: Jan Essig"


It always worked fine and I was able to submit my App (.pkg File) to Apple via Application loader.


But now I´m getting several Error Messages - code object is not signed at all:

productbuild: Adding certificate "Apple Root CA"

productbuild: Wrote product to Eyenstaller.pkg

productbuild: Supported OS versions: [10.7, )


Why is this script no longer working?


I've already revoked my old

- Mac Installer Distribution

- Mac App Distribution

- Mac Development certificates on Apple Developer


- I updated the Intermediate Certificates ( Worldwide Developer Relations Certificate Authority & Developer ID Certificate Authority (and deleted the old / expired ones).

- Created a new CertificateSigningRequest.certSigningRequest via Keychain

- Then Created new Mac Installer Distribution, Mac App Distribution & Mac Development certificates and added them to my Keychain.


However - the Terminal Script is not working anmore and I have no idea what the problem is. I'm totally stuck at the moment and hope someone can help me a bit.


Best regards and thank you ion advance


Jan

Hello ElOil.


I am a newbee to this process. What was the solution for you ?


I developed Air application and just packaging it as .app and put it in .dmg. I add some url protocol properties to info.pList in .app. I can use and download this application up to Mojave, but Catalina requires developer id, and as I hear notarizing as well. Can you share any details on how to do it with me?


Thanks much,

Dennis V.

I have two bits of advice for you here:

  • You might have better luck asking this question in the support channel for the third-party tools you’re using. While I’m sure that there are few Air users here, most folks here on DevForums use Apple’s tools.

  • See Signing a Mac Product For Distribution for (lots of) general advice on how to sign Mac code from the command line.

Share and Enjoy
