Re: Signing MacOS Standalones
Thanks Paul - yes, I've got an active Apple Developer account and I've downloaded a code signing certificate for both MacOS and the iOS systems. After dragging my app to AppWrapper and immediately wrapping it AppWrapper displays "Unable to Code Sign the application - please select a valid code signing identity". It then wraps it anyway but leaves me with a "potential issue" that "CfBundle Get Info String is depricated". In any event the app wasn't code signed. When I try to use the Code Signature pull down to make a selection (changing it from 'no signature') I see 2 choices, each one available for App Store or Web Deployment. But they all display "Both Cert Missing". That's where I'm stuck. So yes, I have reached out to the guys at Ohanaware Software. I'll see if they can clear this up for me.
