Hi, the documentation says that an application bundle for Mac OS X can have a Frameworks folder within Contents. Using a framework for console applications (no bundle) and GUI applications (bundle), I cannot load the console applications anymore on Ventura. Prior to Ventora I have tested and ran both on Mojave or earlier - I am not sure. To fix the issue, I have moved the frameworks within the application bundle to match the rpath for /Users/lothar/Library/Frameworks when I place the console into /Users/lothar/bin, the same rpath for application bundles works for those within the bin folder. Can I publish an application bundle with that modified layout or do I have to expect getting problems and do rather a Symlink pointing from /Users/lothar/Frameworks to /Users/lothar/Library/Frameworks? Thanks, Lothar

There does not seem to be a way to code sign a PAM module so that an XPC service can verify the signature with setCodeSigningRequirement. There should be a way to build a PAM module (dynamic Library ) so it can be code signed. Put in a bundle and code signing the bundle does not work .

Incremental builds using xcodebuild are very slow, around 3x slower when compared to the same build using Xcode. Recently, I discovered that CODE_SIGNING_ALLOWED=NO" fixed the issue, but of course, I can't then run iOS app. It seems like automatic signing using xcodebuild is somehow broken. Therefore, I think I could set CODE_SIGNING_ALLOWED=NO" and sign it manually later. However, I'm not sure how to do that. I checked what Xcode does and it's: /usr/bin/codesign --force --sign - --entitlements /Users/wkulik/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/XYZ-hblnhsksxjrctzekqmlevcflnsji/Build/Intermediates.noindex/XYZ.build/Debug-iphonesimulator/XYZ.build/XYZ.app.xcent --timestamp\=none --generate-entitlement-der /Users/wkulik/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/XYZ-hblnhsksxjrctzekqmlevcflnsji/Build/Products/Debug-iphonesimulator/XYZ.app However, if I run xcodebuild with disabled signing I don't have XYZ.app.xcent required by this command. I also tried: codesign --force --deep --sign "Apple Development: John Snow (XYZ)" /Users/wkulik/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/XYZ-hblnhsksxjrctzekqmlevcflnsji/Build/Products/Debug-iphonesimulator/XYZ.app but the app immediately terminates (the same way like when unsigned). Could anyone help with that?

Hi all, I have two apple accounts. Stupidly my project is written in Account A and my paid developer account is Account B. When I tried to archive and publish under Account A, it says "Team "*** (Personal Team)" is not enrolled in the Apple Developer Program". But when I add a team to Account B, "Command CodeSign failed with a nonzero exit code". I know it is not the code itself because it runs fine when I use Account A. Just couldn't publish. Any advice? Many many thanks

I am a developer, please send me the authentication code !

I have an app Arpeggio.app which I build and then sign without errors: "electron-osx-sign dist/mac-arm64/Arpeggio.app --identity="Developer ID Application: XXXX (XXXXXX)" --hardened-runtime --no-gatekeeper-assess --entitlements=entitlements.plist". It returns "Application signed: dist/mac-arm64/Arpeggio.app". I then use "/usr/bin/ditto -c -k --sequesterRsrc --keepParent src dst" to make a zip with the same signatures. I then submit the zip for notarization: "xcrun notarytool submit dist/mac-arm64/Arpeggio.zip --apple-id XXXX etc" which returns "Waiting for processing to complete. Current status: Accepted.............. Processing complete id: ***-***-xx-xx status: Accepted". Then I staple the notarization to the app and get "The staple and validate action worked!". Now it shows all validated and that the notarization is stapled. I then run "spctl --assess --type execute -vv 'dist/mac-arm64/Arpeggio.app'" as a last check and always get this: dist/mac-arm64/Arpeggio.app: unknown error 99999=1869f Why is this happening? I can't seem to debug the issue but out notarization and signing is always successful and the app works as expected. Pleas ehelp me get to the bottom of this.

I tried building the React App for Any iOS device (Arm64) but I get error. Although I can build successfully for any iOS Simulators In the codesigning step I get the following error, "Warning: unable to build chain to self-signed root for signer "Apple Development: my email address ( ... ) " I don't have paid membership of Apple Developer Program, does that cause this failure? Also, to archive also do I need Apple Developer Program paid membership?

I'm unable to run a widget containing a live activity with the error message at the bottom of this post.

Hi, If an Apple developer subscription account is stopped, how does it affect already signed and and notarized apps? Will all apps and dmg's already signed and notarized in the past still be valid in the future?

Platforms: Ventura and Big Sur Steps to Reproduce: Create new application and installer CSRs with keypairs Generate new certificates in Apple web portal Repackage certificates as .p12 using exported private keys since they are not referenced in keychain app by default. Import certificates into MacOS Keychain Set certificate access to "Always Trust" for all certificate uses Sign binary fails using "codesign --force --sign " Sign installer package succeeds using "productsign --sign Additional Info: The private keys ware initially not recognized by the Keychain application resulting a certificate without a private key "leaf" beneath them. To resolve it I exported the private key and repackaged certificate as a .p12 file. Both certificates appear "good" when evaluated for code signing The installer certificate shows an intermediate and root while the application certificate does not Repackaging as .p12 with expected intermediate and root did not resolve the issue Installing all available intermediates and roots from Apple did not resolve the issue Signing a test app with XCode succeeds In production, we sign using CMake so we need to be able to sign code from the command line with codesign.

Hello, I'm new at developing an ios app, but I have created a basic app, I plan to use just for me using xcode and the language swift. I intend to use this app, to display a video and images on ipads that will be used as KIOS on a trade show. I don't need this app to be published on the app store as I intend to use it solely for my use. Is there a way I can do something like this that won't be restricted with the 10 days restriction? I learned xcode/swift as little as I could to create the app, but now I'm limited to the 10 days, and only 3 devices. Is there a way I can create an offline app, that doesn't have the all the restrictions? I plan to use these ipads over and over again on tradeshows to display my work.

Hello, I am on maxOS 14.6 and I developed a C++ application for macOS with graphical-user interface by using wxWidgets. The .app application bundle is built correctly and the application runs. Now I would like to sign it to get it notarized. I get the following error sudo codesign -vvv --deep --strict MyApp.app/Contents/MacOS/MyApp MyApps.app/Contents/MacOS/MyApp: code has no resources but signature indicates they must be present If I check the signature I get % pkgutil --check-signature MyApp.app Package "MyApp": Status: package is invalid (checksum did not verify) How may I fix this? Thank you!

For some reason Xcode said my certificate was revoked. Developer support says it’s active. Could someone point me towards the steps to reactivate it?

Chrome has started crashing almost immediately after startup. I've reported the issue to the Chrome team here: https://issues.chromium.org/issues/385433270 I'm hoping to debug the issue a bit more myself. This page from the Chrome team https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/master/docs/mac/debugging.md#chrome-builds suggests using the follow to strip off the protections: codesign --force --sign - path/to/Google\ Chrome.app However, applying that seems to have no effect: % codesign --force --sign - /Applications/Google\ Chrome\ copy.app /Applications/Google Chrome copy.app: replacing existing signature /Applications/Google Chrome copy.app: resource fork, Finder information, or similar detritus not allowed % lldb /Applications/Google\ Chrome\ copy.app (lldb) target create "/Applications/Google Chrome copy.app" Current executable set to '/Applications/Google Chrome copy.app' (arm64). (lldb) run error: process exited with status -1 (attach failed (Not allowed to attach to process. Look in the console messages (Console.app), near the debugserver entries, when the attach failed. The subsystem that denied the attach permission will likely have logged an informative message about why it was denied.)) I have tried other variations like the following based on Stack Overflow, this forum, etc., but with the same result. (I'm still a little vague on the meaning for some flags, sorry.) Though codesign says that it's "replacing existing signature", as far as I can tell, nothing is changing: % cat <<EOF > debuggee-entitlement.xml <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>com.apple.security.get-task-allow</key> <true/> </dict> </plist> EOF % codesign --verbose=4 -fs - --options library-validation --entitlements debuggee-entitlement.xml /Applications/Google\ Chrome\ copy.app /Applications/Google Chrome copy.app: replacing existing signature /Applications/Google Chrome copy.app: resource fork, Finder information, or similar detritus not allowed file with invalid attached data: Disallowed xattr com.apple.FinderInfo found on /Applications/Google Chrome copy.app lldb still fails the same way.

I see no diff as compared with what I see running codesign -d on a fresh copy. Is it possible to strip off the protections on my local instance to allow debugging with lldb? If so, could someone share a command for accomplishing that? Although I'm asking about this because of Chrome specifically, I'm hoping to learn more about codesigning in general and to be more empowered as a user to be able to debug when an app I depend on is crashing. Thanks much! Happy Holidays!
