I am working on releasing my macOS arm64 app. My problem is that after the user downloads the dmg, double-clicking my.app in the dmg, a Gatekeeper pop-up box will appear with a warning that the developer cannot be verified. Question: Can an application signed with "com.apple.security.cs.disable-library-validation" be published as trusted? If yes, what steps have I missed? If not, can I get an official response from Apple? （Because I referred to this post, it seems to mention that it is possible to publish trusted software.I have looked up similar questions on the forum and tried many things, but nothing works. ） Here are my steps: Use the codesign to sign my.app. Because my app needs to access third-party dynamic libraries, entitlements.plist contains a "com.apple.security.cs.disable-library-validation". After the "codesign -dvvv" check, the signature was successful.✅ Use the "xcrun notarytool" command to notarize my app, and the status is displayed as accepted.✅ Use "xcrun stapler staple" to attach the notarization to my app, and it returns success.✅ Use the "spctl -a -v " command to verify whether my app has passed Gatekeeper, and it returns that it has passed.✅ Then I packaged my.app into a dmg, and then attached the notarization mark to the dmg, which was successful.✅ I completed the above steps and distributed the dmg. When I downloaded the dmg as a user test and double-clicked my.app in it, the Gatekeeper pop-up box still appeared, and the developer cannot be verified.❌

Hello All, I am trying to do my research, but wanted to ask for confirmation and clarification on a couple of points. We are currently developing and app for a client, we would like to distribute the ipa to them via our own site, rather than running through the app store upload. It's not going to be a public facing app. We used to have access to the Enterprise side of things, but this was removed when Apple added the minmum employees restriction. I'm assuming that we would need to use the Developer ID Application certificate? But I was also wondering if more than one person can have this certificate on their machines to create builds? I appreciate that these may be obvious to some, but I'm fairly new to signing apps etc. Thanks for your help.

I’m developing an app on .NET8 for macOS and encountered an issue during App Review with feedback: "An error showed upon launch. The app cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified. This may be due to an issue with your app’s Gatekeeper conformance." Additionally, the provided screenshot showed this message: "Application is damaged and can't be opened. Delete and reinstall from App Store." Here’s the process I follow to create the package: Build the application. Sign it using the following command: codesign --force --verify --verbose --deep --options runtime --timestamp --entitlements ../Entitlements.plist -s '3rd Party Mac Developer Application: [ID]' Demo.app Create the package using this command: productbuild --component Demo.app /Applications --sign '3rd Party Mac Developer Installer: [ID]' Demo.pkg After installing the app from TestFligt it doesn’t show the errors. Could someone please advise on what might be causing this issue and how I can fix it? The Entitlements.plist file contains the following keys and values: <key>com.apple.application-identifier</key> <string>[ID].com.demo.appc</string> <key>com.apple.developer.team-identifier</key> <string>[ID]</string> <key>com.apple.security.app-sandbox</key> <true/> <key>com.apple.security.files.user-selected.read-write</key> <true/> <key>com.apple.security.network.client</key> <true/> <key>com.apple.security.files.bookmarks.app-scope</key> <true/> <key>com.apple.security.cs.allow-jit</key> <true/> <key>com.apple.security.cs.allow-unsigned-executable-memory</key> <true/> <key>com.apple.security.cs.allow-dyld-environment-variables</key> <true/> <key>com.apple.security.cs.disable-library-validation</key> <true/> The project file snippet includes the following configuration for the release build: <OutputPath>bin\Release</OutputPath> <Optimize>true</Optimize> <NoStdLib>true</NoStdLib> <UseSGen>false</UseSGen> <UseRefCounting>false</UseRefCounting> <TlsProvider>Default</TlsProvider> <PublishTrimmed>true</PublishTrimmed> <TrimMode>partial</TrimMode> <RunAOTCompilation>false</RunAOTCompilation> <EnablePackageSigning>true</EnablePackageSigning> <CodeSigningKey>3rd Party Mac Developer Application:[ID] </CodeSigningKey> <EnableCodeSigning>True</EnableCodeSigning> <CreatePackage>false</CreatePackage> <PackageSigningKey>3rd Party Mac Developer Installer:[ID] </PackageSigningKey> <Profiling>false</Profiling> <CodeSignProvision>provfile</CodeSignProvision> <CodeSignEntitlements>Entitlements.plist</CodeSignEntitlements> <LangVersion>default</LangVersion>

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.

I'm new to notarizing applications. I'm building an Electron application using electron-packager. The signing looks solid: codesign -vvv --deep --strict path/to/app.app # satisfies its Designated Requirement But checking notarization, looks like it didn't work. spctl --assess -vv path/to/app.app # source=Unnotarized Developer ID # origin=Developer ID Application: Tyson XXXX (XXXXX) I'm wondering how to fix the "Unnotarized Developer ID". Thanks!

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

Hello, I can see this option in my certificate on the developer.apple.com platform. The entitlements file is updated with: com.apple.developer.proximity-reader.payment.acceptance code-block I’ve created a new profile for development and App Store, but in Release mode, my profile is not recognized… What configuration might be missing?

Dear Support, I am trying to verify the installation of my macOS app via Test Flight. I have verified through code sign that it is properly signed and has all of the the required entitlements, including sandbox. The package uploaded successfully via Transporter, and the app installs with Test Flight. However, the app will not run. After numerous attempts, I discovered that the embedded.provisionprofile is missing from the Contents of the app bundle in the version that installs via Test Flight. If I install directly from the same PKG I uploaded to Transporter (that TestFlight is using for the build) I can verify that the embedded.provisionprofile is present. Why does uploading the PKG and installing through Test Flight result in the removal of the embedded provisioning file? Is this expected and/or could be another reason why my app is refusing to run? Much appreciated, ~Ross

Hi everyone! We use to have an intel Mac machine where we generate the Developer ID Installer &amp; Application certs for signing and notarization process. This process works sweet. Now, we move from an intel to a m1 Mac machine, where we want to do the same process as before. I had try two different approaches, but ending up with the same result. I export the cert with the private key from my intel to the m1 machine, but when I try to sign, I get: Invalid signature. (Not sure what this error means in this case as everything works on the intel machine. I am guessing the cipher for creating either the private key or the signature differs between the architecture) I try to generate new certs for this m1 machine, but I get the following error: You already have a current Developer ID installer certificate or a pending certificate request. I try with the same account, but also with a different account. In both cases got the same error. I create a ticket for apple, where they said to expect a reply between one and two business days, but no luck yet.

We are developing an application for local file discovery and transfer. We applied to Apple for two permissions. One is com.apple.developer.networking.multicast, which supports the four provisioning profiles: Development, Ad hoc, App Store Connect, and Developer ID. The other is com.apple.developer.device-information.user-assigned-device-name, but Apple only approved it for Development and Ad hoc, without granting App Store Connect support. This prevents us from using the user-assigned-device-name permission in the archive. Could you please clarify the situation? How can we get user-assigned-device-name supported for App Store Connect?

Hello, I was trying to solve the error "Command CodeSign failed with a nonzero exit code" that occurs when I try to archive and publish my app. I realized the Team IDs on the Portal (To right corner next to my name eg "Pete Park - ABC1D2E334") and my Mac Keychain Acces (eg "Pete Park - XYZ9W8V776") do not match. The number on KeyChain Access, is that's a Team ID. (clueless self learner here) If yes, do they need to match? Any suggestion for the CodeSign error? Is "errSecInternalComponent" the error? Sorry if these questions are obvious or stupid. Thanks so much for any advice.

What is the actual ASN.1 structure of the DER encoded entitlements used for iOS and MacOS applications? You can see a sample output at 'The Future is DER', but is there any official documentation or definition?

I'm using PyBind11 to allow use of Python code within my C++ application. The application links successfully, but on the py::module::import below: LOGICAL WebServer:: CheckForPort() { EPython::Prepare(); auto socket = py::module::import("socket"); auto s = socket.attr("socket")(socket.attr("AF_INET"),socket.attr("SOCK_STREAM")); if (s == Py_None) return L_TRUE; auto rc = s.attr("connect_ex")("localhost",8810); // // Returns zero if port in in use // return (rc.cast<int>() == 0); } I get a run-time error libc++abi: terminating due to uncaught exception of type pybind11::error_already_set: ImportError: dlopen(/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.11/lib/python3.11/lib-dynload/math.cpython-311-darwin.so, 0x0002): tried: '/Users/Shared/Develop/IntelApps/WinTD 5/DerivedData/WinTDOSX/Build/Products/Debug/math.cpython-311-darwin.so' (no such file), '/usr/lib/system/introspection/math.cpython-311-darwin.so' (no such file, not in dyld cache), '/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.11/lib/python3.11/lib-dynload/math.cpython-311-darwin.so' (code signature in <855730B8-106D-389C-BF65-36A98463EDB5> '/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.11/lib/python3.11/lib-dynload/math.cpython-311-darwin.so' not valid for use in process: mapping process and mapped file (non-platform) have different Team IDs), I have no idea how to fix the code signature error---this is intended for distribution, so that presumably would be a file on the user's computer.

After using backup to setup my new Mac Mini my xCode App projects run ok in the Simulator but fail to Archive or Analyze with the error: "The specified item could not be found in the keychain." The item is a provisioning profile. I was able to Run, Archive and Validate these projects on my old Mac Mini just before the final backup. Are there known problems in backup of provisioning profiles or keychains? I have tried creating new profiles etc without success for several days. I'm not an expert developer so I'm hoping there is a simple solution. Please suggest the best way to resolve and/or clarify this problem.
