AW: How do I codesign an App?

[Tiemo Hollmann TB]

Hi Bill,

the security message is just the new default setting since 10.10 or so. Your user can download, install and run your app, even if it is not signed, he only has to change the security setting in his system settings once for installing your app or in general.

If you want to sign your app, there are multiple ways, Livecode (and its standalone settings) is none of them. You can use a tool, like AppWrapper, which also does signing your app, or you can do it pure via terminal with:

Codesign -s "Your-Certificate-ID" --deep --force yourAppPath

Hope this helps
Tiemo

Betreff: How do I codesign an App?

Hi, I am rebuilding an app because it throws security violations when downloaded from my web site. It says it is from an unknown developer, and my users can’t launch it.

Ok, so how the heck do I codesign the app? I’m using LC 8.1.1. There is a place in standalone preferences for “signature”, which is set to ????? by default. I have created certificates in the developer’s center for 3rd party apps, that expire in 2017, according to keychain.

This is sooo frustrating, as it must be something everybody who develops Mac apps has to do. Or, perhaps I’m missing something very obvious.

I had hoped to finish this upgrade today and all that remains is the code signing process.

Could someone point me to the place where I can implement this?

Best,
Bill
