Good morning,
I received some great hints from a friend and I guess I´m close do fix this issue.
After publishing the macOS App from Animate CC / Adobe Air (27.0.0.116) I opened the .app (Control Click on the .app file and select 'Show Package Contents‘).
- In the Contents/Resources folder I replaced the Icon.icns file with my own.
- Additions to the Info.plist
<key>LSApplicationCategoryType</key>
<string>public.app-category.education</string>
<key>CFBundleVersion</key>
<string>1.0.0</string>
Then I deleted these Files from the Package:
- webkit .dylib file at Contents/Frameworks/Adobe AIR.framework/Versions/1.0/Resources/WebKit.dylib
- Contents/Frameworks/Adobe AIR.framework/Versions/1.0/Resources/Adobe AIR.vch
- Contents/Frameworks/Adobe AIR.framework/Versions/1.0/Resources/Flash Player.plugin
- Contents/Frameworks/Adobe AIR.framework/Versions/1.0/Resources/_MACOSX (the entire folder)
Then I used this code in Terminal for signing the App:
cd /Users/essig/Desktop
chmod -R 777 Europa\ meistern.app
codesign -f -v -s "3rd Party Mac Developer Application: Jan Essig" Europa\ meistern.app/Contents/Frameworks/Adobe\ AIR.framework/Versions/1.0/Adobe\ AIR
codesign -f -v -s "3rd Party Mac Developer Application: Jan Essig" Europa\ meistern.app/Contents/Frameworks/Adobe\ AIR.framework/Versions/1.0/Adobe\ AIR_64
codesign -f -v -s "3rd Party Mac Developer Application: Jan Essig" Europa\ meistern.app/Contents/Frameworks/Adobe\ AIR.framework/Adobe\ AIR
codesign -f -v -s "3rd Party Mac Developer Application: Jan Essig" Europa\ meistern.app/Contents/Frameworks/Adobe\ AIR.framework/Versions/1.0
codesign -f -v -s "3rd Party Mac Developer Application: Jan Essig" --entitlements MacProcess/entitlement.plist Europa\ meistern.app
codesign --display --entitlements - Europa\ meistern.app
productbuild --component Europa\ meistern.app /Applications EuropaInstaller.pkg --sign "3rd Party Mac Developer Installer: Jan Essig"
… except for the first codesigning line in the script (signing Adobe Air) everything worked - here's the Terminal output:
MacBook-Pro:~ essig$ cd /Users/essig/Desktop
MacBook-Pro:Desktop essig$ chmod -R 777 Europa\ meistern.app

- Final Tests: The .pkg file works well. I’m able to install my App via the .pkg-File on my Mac and the App also works perfect.
Now I was able to transfer my App / the .pkg File via Application Loader successfully to Apple!
…sadly I received an email from Apple with this content after some minutes:
Dear developer,
We have discovered one or more issues with your recent delivery for "Europa meistern". To process your delivery, the following issues must be corrected:
Unable to Sign - This package doesn't meet the current code signing requirements. For more information, see the Code Signing and Application Sandboxing Guide and Technical Note 2206.
Specifically, codesign generated the following error:
com.essig.europameisternmac.pkg/Payload/Europa meistern.app: resource fork, Finder information, or similar detritus not allowed
Once these issues have been corrected, you can then redeliver the corrected binary.
Regards, The App Store team
Does anyone have an idea how to fix this final issue? :-)
Best regards
Jan
