extended finder attributes cause code sign to fail, but of course, clearing them with xattr mean little if the app is not signed in the first place.
basically, if you don’t sign a built application, you have no choice but to ask the end user to disable gate keeper for the app, and install it under documents or some other permissive directory. even if you do sign the application, you probably still need to use the v15 default data system, as a safer way to start. and then, there still remains the issue of how to manage backups. the setting file is inside the package, and the destination folder is there also by default. I think it is OK to modify an xml file once the app is installed, only executable files are supposed to be code signed. in my experience, backup is the one that often gets over looked. ********************************************************************** 4D Internet Users Group (4D iNUG) FAQ: http://lists.4d.com/faqnug.html Archive: http://lists.4d.com/archives.html Options: http://lists.4d.com/mailman/options/4d_tech Unsub: mailto:[email protected] **********************************************************************
