Code Signing

[Bob Sneidar]

Yup I figured that out. I just re-upped, but just as an aside, now the IT support people for IOTEC are saying we ALSO have to pay them for a subscription fee so they can install thair management app on our devices to restrict what we can and cannot do.

I downloaded Xcode, and also Trevor DeVore’s code signing app. I chose the app I want to sign, but now it’s asking me the name of the certificiate. I know I have a code signing certificate because when I digitally sign PDFs, that’s the certificate I have. I found it in my Keychain, and made sure it was valid for code signing. They only problem is it is a self signed certificate.
