AW: AW: codesigning FAILS with Umlaute

[toolbook at kestner.de]

Strangely enough, codesigning and notarizing a package with umlauts still works and is verified by Apple.
Since codesigning a package has to be done with "productsign" and not "codesign" it looks as "codesign" is broken and not the shell.

If it is codesign or the shell, the weird thing is, that Apple broke it. Codesigning worked for me in the terminal for years with my Umlaut app.
The times of the 90th, when there was nothing more compatible as a Mac are gone forever. I love Windows!

My guess (and it is just a guess) is that this failure has noting to do with Apple's codesigning.

If, since 9.6.1, LiveCode does an ad-hoc code signing, I suspect it is doing that via a call to the "shell" command to issue the same codesign command you would do through Terminal under macOS. If so, the bug is in the engine's "shell" command, in that Shell does not support Unicode.

See https://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=22334

Perhaps this will be incentive for LC to fix this bug.
