The actual error: pkgbuild: error: Could not find appropriate signing identity for “Developer ID installer: My Name (DeveloperID)”.

I'm trying to sign a program written with gfortran. The steps worked the last time (Mar 23) I built this code.

The steps to error: a) xcrun notarytool store-credentials --apple-id "***" --team-id "yyy" Giving Profile Name zzz and App-specific password b) codesign --force --timestamp --options=runtime -s "Developer ID Application: My Name (yyy)" AppName c) pkgbuild --root ROOT --identifier org.aaa.bbb --version "1.1.1" --sign "Developer ID installer: My Name (yyy)" AppName.pkg ROOT contains the package contents At this point I get the error pkgbuild: error: Could not find appropriate signing identity for “Developer ID installer: My Name (yyy)”

Are there steps that have changed. Any suggestions? Thanks, David

No. There are two potential issues here:

Your Developer ID Installing signing identity might have expired.
Or your might change something locally, like upgraded your machine, to lose access to that signing identity.

Packaging Mac software for distribution explains how you can check access to your installer signing identity using the security find-identity command. What does it report?

The Care and Feeding of Developer ID has general info about why Developer ID signing credentials are important and how you can manage them safely.
