I don’t believe it is possible to do that. The purpose of signing an application is s that it can 1) be verified with Apple and 2) the cert can be pulled if there’s anything hinky. Neither of these purposes are served with a self-signed cert. I believe this was changed back in 10.8? The documentation on signing is here, and doe snot mention self-signing. <https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/IDEs/Conceptual/AppDistributionGuide/DistributingApplicationsOutside/DistributingApplicationsOutside.html> -- W is for WINNIE embedded in ice X is for XERXES devoured by mice _______________________________________________ MacOSX-talk mailing list [email protected] http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/listinfo/macosx-talk
