Hello.

I am developing an electron app with vscode. And I have some problems while signing and notarizing. I signed it with electron-osx-sign command. Then I tried notarize using xcrun notarytool submit .zip --keychian-profile "NotaryCredential" --wait.

but the result says it is invalid. so I show the notarize log. Below is the log file. It says some framework bundles are not signatured. Please check it and let me know what is the problem.

Thank you.

It’s hard to say what’s going on here because you’re using a third-party tool to sign your app. You can find my general advice on how to sign and package a Mac product in:

I recommend that you compare that advice against what your third-party tooling is doing.
