AW: codesigning FAILS with Umlaute

[toolbook at kestner.de]

Hello Mark,

thank you for jumping in with your expertise - it works! I appreciate your
efforts very much!
I never would have dared to rename an app after signing and notarization.

I am so glad, you found a solution. My app is named since 12 years
"DGS-Wörterbuch", because the German spelling of "dictionary" is
"Wörterbuch" - with an Umlaut and nothing else. Every other spelling
wouldn't look very professional for a German.

So probably the other issue of my first post (fail on building a standalone
with Umlaut) is related to the new ad-hoc signing feature of LC 9.6. and is
based on the same codesign bug of xCode (it worked for years without
problems). I will send a bug report to Apple.

Thank you again!
Tiemo

So I asked Ian to have a look into this - my first thought was that we were
missing an appropriate textEncode when building the shell command in the S/B
to do the codesigning...

(The S/B since 9.6.1 does an 'ad-hoc' codesign on standalones as otherwise
Catalina+ can complain)

However, it would appear that 'codesign' does not like the executable name
(the bit in Contents/MacOS) having accented chars.

So I think you'll have to tweak the app name in the S/B mac options to
remove the umlaut - then the internal exe will be fine; then after you've
built - just rename the app bundle to be the one with the umlaut.

This shouldn't affect verification of the signed app at all as its
everything *inside* the .app folder which is signed (the internals are - the
plist contains a ref to the actual executable name, and plist is used to
generate the code signature, along with the other stuff in the app).

Hope this helps!

Mark.
