            Stupid question, but can you actually codesign something else ?

                  Report: This is a general report for somebody who may search later

                  main problem was validation process of appstore. I took 2 approaches
                  1- using make codesign (QT)
                  2- using xcode

                  in the first approach: The problem was make codesign fails, because it turned that i needed to codesign each file on its own. Then i reached a correct make codesign but make product fails to package the app.

                  In the second approach: The problem was framework embedding inside the application. App is written with Qt 4.8.7_2 and apple requests a new structure for the framework, in which there is a folder called A inside Versions folder, which does not exist and thus it failed. Note that, there is a folder called 4 inside which there is the framework, if we change this folder name from 4 to A as apple want, the app will crash.
                  Solution : Placed the frameworks inside a special folder and from xcode requested to embed the frameworks from this folder. From Terminal, i restructured the framework directory and made internal symbolic links inside the folder (Versions/A -> 4 and Versions/Current->4). In another works, created 2 symbolic links, one called A and the other called Current and both point to A.
                  Now Xcode, could validate and codesign, the output file uploaded to Appstore failed with Invalid build. Appstore send me an email stating what is failed. I will check, work on and let you know.

                  After correcting all error listed in the automatic email from Appstore that i could understand. There is only 1 error still and i would appreciate your help.

                  Final error -

                  Invalid Signature - The main app bundle TypingTutor at path TypingTutor.app has following signing error(s): --prepared:/Volumes/data01/app_data/dstr/mz_3951107737348925641dir/mz_287010058513639019dir/com.PCfone.ArabicTypingTutor.pkg/Payload/TypingTutor.app/Contents/Frameworks/libcrypto.1.0.0.dylib --validated:/Volumes/data01/app_data/dstr/mz_3951107737348925641dir/mz_287010058513639019dir/com.PCfone.ArabicTypingTutor.pkg/Payload/TypingTutor.app/Contents/Frameworks/libcrypto.1.0.0.dylib --prepared:/Volumes/data01/app_data/dstr/mz_3951107737348925641dir/mz_287010058513639019dir/com.PCfone.ArabicTypingTutor.pkg/Payload/TypingTutor.app/Contents/Frameworks/libssl.1.0.0.dylib --validated:/Volumes/data01/app_data/dstr/mz_3951107737348925641dir/mz_287010058513639019dir/com.PCfone.ArabicTypingTutor.pkg/Payload/TypingTutor.app/Contents/Frameworks/libssl.1.0.0.dylib --prepared:/Volumes/data01/app_data/dstr/mz_3951107737348925641dir/mz_287010058513639019dir/com.PCfone.ArabicTypingTutor.pkg/Payload/TypingTutor.app/Contents/Frameworks/QtCore.framework/Versions/Current/. /Volumes/data01/app_data/dstr/mz_3951107737348925641dir/mz_287010058513639019dir/com.PCfone.ArabicTypingTutor.pkg/Payload/TypingTutor.app: unsealed contents present in the root directory of an embedded framework In subcomponent: /Volumes/data01/app_data/dstr/mz_3951107737348925641dir/mz_287010058513639019dir/com.PCfone.ArabicTypingTutor.pkg/Payload/TypingTutor.app/Contents/Frameworks/QtCore.framework .

                    Did you check the content of the Info.plist files ?

                      The info plist seems correct ..
                      I doubt another thing, i use to create an Archive-> then open it manually and add the plugin folder and another dylib files to the framework and then validate with xcode and send to appstore ..

                      I am trying to find a way to include the files within the xcode validation.

                            After long search, i found that this mistakes comes from redundance loop of a symbolic link
                            Inside the QtCore.framework/.../Resources, i found i made a symbolic link to the resources folder by mistake ..
                            Solution: I removed this symbolic link and resigned the files ..

                            For info how to code sign an already signed file is as follows:-

                            codesign --force --sign '3rd Party Mac Developer Application: Sherif Omran (R3JGXHN3B3)' --keychain ~/Library/Keychains/login.keychain ./AppFile.app 
                            
                            

                            I ll let you know of the output of the upload as soon as i get the email report

                                I found the following information, but i don't understand it :
                                codesign says I have 'unsealed content' somewhere.
                                Do not put files or directories into the top directory of an app or framework bundle
                                All content must be inside Contents or Versions respectively as described earlier.
                                What do they mean?

                                My Framework structure is as follows:
                                QtGui.framework/
                                QtGui -> Versions/Current/QtGui
                                Resources -> Versions/Current/Resources/
                                Versions

                                  update 1:
                                  I downloaded Qt5.5 and used the macdeployqt from version 5.5.1. It created the framework in a restructured way. However, it is missing the A folder inside the Versions. I created a symbolic link for it pointing to folder 4. I ve xcode project for recompiling and packaging. Xcode tries to sign the A folder.

                                  Command /usr/bin/codesign failed with exit code 1.

                                  When i codesign the folder with
                                  codesign --sign '3rd Party Mac Developer Application: XXXX XXXX (R3JGXHN3B3)' --keychain ~/Library/Keychains/login.keychain ./Versions/A
                                  It works and xcode does not produce the same error but then when i submit, AppStore complains at unsigned framework at the root.

                                  Question: Why doesnot this work? how to debug it?
                                  codesign --force --sign 016A9E58DED20AC63F1157926166C4082C925F47 --preserve-metadata=identifier,entitlements --timestamp=none /MyApp.app/Contents/Frameworks/QtNetwork.framework/Versions/A

                                      • Previous problem was solved and i can now sign the app. The following link, helped me to solve it.
                                        [link Signing problem due to WWDR certificate](link https://www.reddit.com/r/iOSProgramming/comments/45siza/this_certificate_has_an_invalid_issuer/)

                                      Current Issue is the following:
                                      The framework folder has version folder and inside the version folder there is folder called 4. This 4 must be changed into A for apple to accept it. If we change it to A, the app will crash. This is even not integrated in macdeloyqt 5.5.

                                        In that case change the folder to A and call install_name_tool to fix the paths your application dependencies.

                                          Now i could create an archive that is correctly signed with Xcode and if i open the archive and see the content and run the app, it runs. Notice that i ve put both frameworks 4 and A. When i export to generate a package to submit for appstore and submit it. It gets rejects. If i install the application locally, using otool, i see that the app links to frameworks that exist in /usr/..../ folders. But i managed to get the frameworks copied to the package but it still does not run. I get kill 9.

                                          -- Report --
                                          To clarify, the app fails to launch as it is linking to frameworks that are missing.
                                          The frameworks that are missing are:
                                          '/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib/libcrypto.1.0.0.dylib'
                                          '/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib/libssl.1.0.0.dylib'
                                          '/usr/local/opt/qt/lib/QtCore.framework'
                                          '/usr/local/opt/qt/lib/QtGui.framework'
                                          '/usr/local/opt/qt/lib/QtNetwork.framework'
                                          '/usr/local/opt/qt/lib/QtSql.framework'

                                          Best Mac OS X development practices suggest using (in order)

                                          @executable_path/
                                          @loader_path/
                                          @rpath/

                                          For more information about linking frameworks, please see the following documents:
