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

Wed Aug 9 04:04:45 EDT 2023

Hello Dar,

I can successfully build a Mac standalone in a network drive.

The error you are getting indicates that the app the standalone builder
tries to codesign, has some extended attributes. This is strange, because
the standalone builder does this very thing (i.e. it clears the extended
attributes) just before the codesign command.

I am wondering - do you get the same error when trying to build a
standalone from a new simple stack? Or does that happen only with a
specific stack? If the latter, does this stack contain anything in the Copy
Files?

Kind regards,
Panos
