Signing MacOS Standalones

[Ray]

Thanks Paul - yes, I've got an active Apple Developer account and I've 
downloaded a code signing certificate for both MacOS and the iOS 
systems.  After dragging my app to AppWrapper and immediately wrapping 
it AppWrapper displays "Unable to Code Sign the application - please 
select a valid code signing identity".  It then wraps it anyway but 
leaves me with a "potential issue" that "CfBundle Get Info String is 
depricated".  In any event the app wasn't code signed.  When I try to 
use the Code Signature pull down to make a selection (changing it from 
'no signature') I see 2 choices, each one available for App Store or Web 
Deployment.  But they all display "Both Cert Missing".  That's where I'm 
stuck.

So yes, I have reached out to the guys at Ohanaware Software. I'll see 
if they can clear this up for me.

Thanks,

Ray
