Hi Jim, I ran the following in Terminal to check it: codesign -dv /Users/patbensky/CatBase\ dev/CatBase\ v8/Final\ Application/CatBase\ 8.app
and this is the result: Executable=/Users/patbensky/CatBase dev/CatBase v8/Final Application/CatBase 8.app/Contents/MacOS/CatBase 8 Identifier=4d.com.CatBase 8.app Format=app bundle with Mach-O thin (x86_64) CodeDirectory v=20200 size=133812 flags=0x0(none) hashes=4176+3 location=embedded Signature size=9042 Timestamp=24 Apr 2019 at 23:18:30 Info.plist entries=41 TeamIdentifier=8W63XCXWRA Sealed Resources version=2 rules=13 files=2018 Internal requirements count=1 size=180 When I ran your suggested code codesign --verify -v /Users/patbensky/CatBase\ dev/CatBase\ v8/Final\ Application/CatBase\ 8.app I got: a sealed resource is missing or invalid file modified: /Users/patbensky/CatBase dev/CatBase v8/Final Application/CatBase 8.app/Contents/Database/CatBase 8.4DIndy file modified: /Users/patbensky/CatBase dev/CatBase v8/Final Application/CatBase 8.app/Contents/Database/CatBase 8.4DC So that's a bit more informative ... Any idea what "sealed resource" is missing or invalid? On Wed, 24 Apr 2019 at 23:30, Jim Crate via 4D_Tech <[email protected]> wrote: > Are you sure the app is signed correctly?
