My guess (and it is just a guess) is that this failure has noting to do
with Apple's codesigning.
If, since 9.6.1, LiveCode does an ad-hoc code signing, I suspect it is
doing that via a call to the "shell" command to issue the same codesign
command you would do through Terminal under macOS. If so, the bug is in
the engine's "shell" command, in that Shell does not support Unicode.
See https://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=22334
Perhaps this will be incentive for LC to fix this bug.

Hello Mark,
thank you for jumping in with your expertise - it works! I appreciate your
efforts very much!
I never would have dared to rename an app after signing and notarization.
I am so glad, you found a solution. My app is named since 12 years
"DGS-Wörterbuch", because the German spelling of "dictionary" is
"Wörterbuch" - with an Umlaut and nothing else. Every other spelling
wouldn't look very professional for a German.
So probably the other issue of my first post (fail on building a standalone
with Umlaut) is related to the new ad-hoc signing feature of LC 9.6. and is
based on the same codesign bug of xCode (it worked for years without
problems). I will send a bug report to Apple.
Thank you again!
Tiemo

Any idea? please no stories about your doctor experiences .
So I asked Ian to have a look into this - my first thought was that we were
missing an appropriate textEncode when building the shell command in the S/B
to do the codesigning...
(The S/B since 9.6.1 does an 'ad-hoc' codesign on standalones as otherwise
Catalina+ can complain)
However, it would appear that 'codesign' does not like the executable name
(the bit in Contents/MacOS) having accented chars.
So I think you'll have to tweak the app name in the S/B mac options to
remove the umlaut - then the internal exe will be fine; then after you've
built - just rename the app bundle to be the one with the umlaut.
This shouldn't affect verification of the signed app at all as its
everything *inside* the .app folder which is signed (the internals are - the
plist contains a ref to the actual executable name, and plist is used to
generate the code signature, along with the other stuff in the app).
Hope this helps!
Mark.
