So I asked Ian to have a look into this - my first thought was that we 
were missing an appropriate textEncode when building the shell command 
in the S/B to do the codesigning...

(The S/B since 9.6.1 does an 'ad-hoc' codesign on standalones as 
otherwise Catalina+ can complain)

However, it would appear that 'codesign' does not like the executable 
name (the bit in Contents/MacOS) having accented chars.

So I think you'll have to tweak the app name in the S/B mac options to 
remove the umlaut - then the internal exe will be fine; then after 
you've built - just rename the app bundle to be the one with the umlaut.

This shouldn't affect verification of the signed app at all as its 
everything *inside* the .app folder which is signed (the internals are - 
the plist contains a ref to the actual executable name, and plist is 
used to generate the code signature, along with the other stuff in the 
app).

Hope this helps!

Mark.
