AW: AW: AW: codesigning FAILS with Umlaute

[toolbook at kestner.de]

Hi Mark,
anyhow, Apple has broken it in one of its latest releases.
I have signed this same executable with umlaut for the last years
successfully...

Have a nice WE

So Ian dug into this further - we think its the name of the executable in
the plist which is the problem...

Codesign expects this to be in 'decomposed' unicode form - so instead of the
(combined) u-umlaut character, it needs to be u,combining-umlaut.

Presumably this is because filenames in Apple FS's are always stored in
decomposed unicode form, and codesign and friends expect exact byte
equivalence between the entry in the plist, and that of the executable
filename.

Anyway, a little bit of a subtle issue, but one which will hopefully be
fixed by using the normalizeText function appropriately in the S/B where it
sorts out the plist :)

Warmest Regards,

Mark.
