---------------------------------------
Summary: Apple Sierra shows corrupted app when launching Studio
Key: DIRSTUDIO-1140
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRSTUDIO-1140
Project: Directory Studio
Issue Type: Bug
Components: studio-apacheds
Affects Versions: 2.0.0-M12
Reporter: Brian Wright
Attachments: ADS-Damaged.png
After downloading and launching Apache Directory Studio 2.0.0 M12 on MacOS X
Sierra, I am presented with a panel that says:
{quote}"ApacheDirectoryStudio.app" is damaged and can't be opened. You should
move it to the Trash.{quote}
The cause of this issue is because of Sierra's enhanced security related to...
{{resource fork, Finder information, or similar detritus not allowed}} and code
signing.
This may or may not be related to code signing specifically, but is more likely
related to the version of Xcode used to create this app version. Here's the
security issue:
{quote}This is a security hardening change that was introduced with iOS 10,
macOS Sierra, watchOS 3, and tvOS 10.
Code signing no longer allows any file in an app bundle to have an extended
attribute containing a resource fork or Finder info.{quote}
To find the offending attributes, use:
{code}xattr -lr /Applications/ApacheDirectoryStudio.app{code}
To fix the app and allow it to function, these attributes *must* be stripped
with:
{code}xattr -cr /Applications/ApacheDirectoryStudio.app{code}
Better, the next time someone compiles the app for release on MacOS X, make
sure it doesn't include these offending attributes. I would assume the latest
version of Xcode should prevent the creation of these attributes. If not, then
the app should be stripped with {{xattr}} before package and release.
