Code signing with CMAKE on macOS

Perdrix

I have a self-signed code signing cert on a Mac system (in the login key chain).
It has CN=David Partridge; O=DeepSkyStacker, OU=DeepSkyStacker

I think I need to configure my top level CMakeLists.txt to contain:

if (APPLE)
set(CMAKE_XCODE_ATTRIBUTE_DEVELOPMENT_TEAM "DeepSkyStacker" CACHE STRING "")
set(CMAKE_XCODE_ATTRIBUTE_CODE_SIGN_IDENTITY "David Partridge" CACHE STRING "")
endif()

Is that correct?

The deploy section of the lower level CMakeLists.txt looks like:

if(NOT LINUX)
    set (deploy_tool_options_arg "")
    if(APPLE)
        set(deploy_tool_options_arg "${deploy_tool_options_arg} -hardened-runtime")
    elseif(WIN32)
        set(deploy_tool_options_arg "${deploy_tool_options_arg} --pdb")
    endif()

    # Generate a deployment script to be executed at install time
    # App bundles on macOS have an .app suffix
    if(APPLE)
        set(executable_path "${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/$<TARGET_FILE_NAME:DeepSkyStacker>.app")
    else()
        message ("Target filename:"  $<TARGET_FILE_NAME:DeepSkyStacker>)
        set(executable_path "${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/$<TARGET_FILE_NAME:DeepSkyStacker>")
    endif()

    message ("executable_path: " ${executable_path})
    message ("deploy tools options arg: " ${deploy_tool_options_arg})
     qt_generate_deploy_script(
         TARGET DeepSkyStacker
         OUTPUT_SCRIPT deploy_script
         CONTENT "
     qt_deploy_runtime_dependencies(
         EXECUTABLE \"${executable_path}\"
         DEPLOY_TOOL_OPTIONS ${deploy_tool_options_arg}
     )"
     )
else()
qt_generate_deploy_app_script(
    TARGET ${PROJECT_NAME}
    OUTPUT_SCRIPT deploy_script
    DEPLOY_TOOL_OPTIONS ${deploy_tool_options_arg}
)
endif()
install (SCRIPT ${deploy_script})

install(TARGETS ${PROJECT_NAME} BUNDLE DESTINATION .)

What do I need to change to get the output bundle signed?

I changed the if(APPLE) bit to read:

    if(APPLE)
        set(deploy_tool_options_arg "${deploy_tool_options_arg} -hardened-runtime -no-strip")
        set(deploy_tool_options_arg "${deploy_tool_options_arg} -codesign=\"David Partridge\"")

unfortunately that got me lots of:

ERROR: Codesign signing error:
ERROR: "error: The specified item could not be found in the keychain.\n"

So what have I got wrong there please?

I was able to locate the signing keys/certificate using -codesign=David, so it looks like I need to change the way I specify the CN in the line:

set(deploy_tool_options_arg "${deploy_tool_options_arg} -codesign=\"David Partridge\"")

That didn't solve the problem for me though as the CMake code is run in an SSH session and I get errSecInternalComponent when trying to sign each item :(

I exported my Private Keys to Keys.p12 file and deleted them.

I then re-imported them:

% security import Keys.p12 -T /usr/bin/codesign -P <P12_PASSWORD>

I then issued:

security set-key-partition-list -S "apple:" -l "David Partridge"

but, when logged in via SSH, I still get:

amonra@Saturn ~ % codesign -s "David" -f "MyTrue"
MyTrue: replacing existing signature
MyTrue: errSecInternalComponent

Guidance greatly appreciated.

Problem with errSecInternalComponent solved by doing:

sudo security import keys.p12 -P <P12_PASSWORD> -k /Library/Keychains/System.keychain -T /usr/bin/codesign

Still need to be able to specify the name "David Partrdge" for -codesign ...
