Unable to build for Mac: adding ad-hoc signature failed

Wed Aug 9 01:32:30 EDT 2023

Forgot my answer, i just saw your post that your error where caused because of building to a network drive.

I had similar problems btw. in the past when building to a dropbox folder or a folder that was synchronized with iCloud.

Regards,
Matthias

I’m not sure, since I can build for Windows. (I can probably stumble through what I did long, long ago, but might figure it out faster.)
