I uploaded the pckg via dropbox then downloaded via web.
Did the same for zipped, file. The unzipped app opened in the Applications
folder opened with no warning. The app installed form the package triggered
read only structure warning. Same app, different installation approach.

Working with tech support, the issue is resolved.
I was able to perform the build on another computer, so It looks like
that’s the problem with the failed attempts to code sign some frameworks.
Also, it was important to not launch the built app . I zipped it,
transferred it to my original
I am using an Apple supplied Developer ID installed in my keychain via Xcode.
I reinstalled it and made sure it had the default setting (not trust) which got
rid of the not self signed problem.
I then used the approach outlining the code that uses the shell script in the
4D app bundle (sign

Hi Don,
Have you tried the following?
In 4D, build the merged app. But do not use the signed application option. That
is, leave the check box "signed application" unchecked.
After the merge app is built, perform signing in Terminal.
Replace with pertinent information the following place
I hope that you have resolved this issue because I have the same problem

Have a look at 4D-link files.
Basically you store information about the datafile and program in the link-file
and the user just doubleklicks the link file.
I don´t
Thanks for your replies on this.
Am I correct in saying that 4D v15 still doesn't allow the setting of a path
relative to the user's home folder? ie "~/folder/application.4dd"
If that's the case, I'm still no further forward :-(
My plan is for each user to have their own copy of the data file

The tech tip says v15R4 (not v15.4). This means it is a feature of v16 and it
was first made available in v15R4. However, the feature is not available in
v15.x
Here is more information on that feature:
oh, okay you can use Default Data File feature in XML Build Keys,
store last file opened in your own text file, test the data file opened and if
it is default look for text file and use Open Data File. there is some trick
like calling in a new process maybe...

Is there no way to get a built application to remember the location of the
data file between application upgrades?

OK great, thank you. That worked. So now I can install my app successfully
inside the /Applications folder and not get permission errors or crashes.
Next problem - it won't save the location of the 4D Data file between
installations. The first time I launch, I show it where the data file is
Well, if you go back to PackageMaker you can build an Installer that is signed
with your Developer ID Installer
And in Package, Contents you can go to Scripts, Postinstall and add a script
with contents like:
#!/bin/sh
chmod -R 777 '/Applications/MyAppFolder'

OK so the answer to "does Dropbox add extended attributes" was obviously a
resounding "yes".
So I copied my structure, plug-ins and components into my local user folder,
ditched the extended attributes using "xattr -cr " and re-built.
Then I ran "xattr -lr " to see what I was left with.
I got
Maybe... Why not try removing it and see if it makes a difference?

Hi Tim, many thanks for this.
Does the same go for Dropbox? As that's where I store my structure file…

It's not 4D adding it - it already exists in your source files; check your
structure file, your plugins, components, even the installed copy of 4D that
you are building against, etc. Use the xattr command
Thanks Tim
This got me further down the line, I now know that the problem is "resource
fork, Finder information, or similar detritus not allowed"
However, I have no idea how to prevent 4D from adding such detritus to the
built app!
Following the link in the tech note, I executed "xattr -cr "

Sorry for the delay responding to your suggestion, Tim.
I tried adding that to my code but the app doesn’t even get as far as
outputting anything, it just crashes on launch (at the moment).
So I have investigated the whole code signing thing. I tried with a self-signed
certificate and then

A quick test to see if your application is in a Translocated (Read-Only)
quarantine is to run the following code:
ALERT(APPLICATION FILE)
Then check the output.
If the Path is correct and matches where the application
You can do this with the default data file. The new model allows you to startup
your app and then switch to another database without showing the open database
dialog. You can switch to an existing one or create a new one on the fly.

Thanks for your replies to this. I will experiment with signing BUT I really
don't think this is the issue, for 2 reasons:
1. I've had this problem since before Gatekeeper was invented.
2. I'm familiar with the Gatekeeper dialogs and this isn't one of them.
Gatekeeper would normally prevent the
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
Hi James,
I agree with what Chuck Miller posted (I think he was quoting my reply to your
previous thread: http://kb.4d.com/resources/inug?msgid=GmailId1607a1da70d0a99b).
Definitely start signing your application if you are not already doing so - and
then make sure to distribute your signed
One thing I would for sure do is get your application signed so you do not
get into instance where OS won’t lety it run. Here are notes from
My assumption is that the application is falling victim to Gatekeeper and
being translocated to a read-only location. Apple documents how to get
around
