How do I codesign an App?

[William Prothero]

Hi, I am rebuilding an app because it throws security violations when downloaded from my web site. It says it is from an unknown developer, and my users can’t launch it.

Ok, so how the heck do I codesign the app? I’m using LC 8.1.1. There is a place in standalone preferences for “signature”, which is set to ????? by default. I have created certificates in the developer’s center for 3rd party apps, that expire in 2017, according to keychain.

This is sooo frustrating, as it must be something everybody who develops Mac apps has to do. Or, perhaps I’m missing something very obvious.

I had hoped to finish this upgrade today and all that remains is the code signing process.

Could someone point me to the place where I can implement this?

Best,
Bill
