Hi Jeff, I can’t give you a step by step guide, especially including getting the signing certificate. But here is a code snippet which I use for signing my apps which works. The takeaways will be in the comments as well as the two commands that are run using LEP.
Hopefully that is enough to get you pointed in the right direction. P.S. Apple just introduced the idea of notarizing apps at WWDC last week. That will be additional steps and required in the future, but I haven’t tried it yet. Sigh. //If on Mac and a certificate is provided, we now code sign the app. Nothing inside the //application package should be changed after this point. //Use "codesign --verify --verbose /pathtoapp.app" to see if the application signing is still valid. //Use "codesign -dv /pathtoapp.app" to get the code signing information. //See http://kb.4d.com/assetid=77078 if we need to skip signing certain folders in the future. //Also, see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/39652867/code-sign-error-in-macos-sierra-xcode-8-resource-fork-finder-information-or //which explains that code signing no longer works with extended attributes on files in the app. It seems easiest to simply //use a command to strip all extended attributes before signing. We don't seem to need them anyway.
