Codesigned app with Qt 5.9 and QtWebEngineCore on macOS Sierra

[jimcad]

Codesigning my app has been worked until I changed to Qt 5.9. I finally found that the problem is addressed to QtWebEngineCore.

The steps to reproduce this:

1. Create a new Qt Widget project and add 'webenginecore' to project file.
2. Build project
3. Run macdeployqt
4. codesign --deep --force --verify --verbose --sign "xxxx developer id" MyApp.app
5. Check the codesigning codesign -v --strict --deep --verbose=2 MyApp.app. This returns 'valid on disk' and 'satisfied its Designed Requirements' so it should be OK.
6. Upload MyApp.app to Dropbox or similar.
7. Download app and try to start app => 'developer not confirmed'

There is no problem using this on Qt 5.8.

Any workarounds or ideas to resolve this issue?

Hi,

I'd take a look at the bug report system to see if there's something related.

I didn't find directly related to this problem. Maybe I should fill a bug report...

But I checked console logs and found this. XprotectService gives this error:

File /Users/jimcad/Downloads/deploytest.app/Contents/Frameworks/QtWebEngineCore.framework/Versions/5/QtWebEngineCore failed on rPathCmd /Users/qt/work/install/lib/QtQuick.framework/Versions/5/QtQuick

What does this mean?

Looks like your QtWebEngineCore framework is not deployed properly.

Ok. It's known issue: https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-61413
