Problems signing an Mac App

SGaist

Hi,

What signing problem do you have exactly ?

Poll3xd

My problem is that my application wont sign properly, because of my nested code.

SGaist

What do you mean by nested code ?

dimitar

This is how I sign

codesign --force --deep -vvvv -s "$SIGN_IDENTITY" $APP
codesign --verify -vvvv $APP
spctl --verbose=4 --assess --type execute $APP

Maybe you can try that and see if it works.

Hi dimitar
I tried doing the same as you and the output of the second line is:

myAPP: valid on disk
myAPP: satisfies its Designated Requirement

But the output of the third line is:

myApp: rejected
source=Developer ID

I used to be able to sign my apps, but for some reason it wont anymore and we renewed our developer license at Apple 1 months ago. Sp that shouldn't be the problem.

@SGaist
The reason I' bringing up nested code, is because of this conversation I had with an Apple tecnician: https://forums.developer.apple.com/thread/75149

SGaist

Then you should use the -codesign option of macdeployqt

Poll3xd

I can't seem to find that option

SGaist

What version of Qt are you using ?

Poll3xd

SGaist

That's the Qt Creator version. What is the installed Qt version ?

Poll3xd

I'm using version 5

SGaist

You'd have to be more specific. Qt 5 is a series.

Poll3xd

My App is running on version 5.6

SGaist

Then you might want to run a more recent version of macdeployqt.

Poll3xd

How do I run a more recent version of macdeployment. I can't seem to find a way to update my macdeplyqt.

SGaist

You use the macdeployqt from a more recent Qt installation.

Edit:

Thanks it works now.

I installed Qt version 5.8 and used this guide to sign it: https://successfulsoftware.net/2014/10/17/signing-qt-applications-for-mac-os-x-10-9-5-and-10-10/

I might need to purchase DropDMG in 30 days, but it'll work for now :)

Thanks for the help
