I’m new to Mac packaging, and am confused by the multi-part signing and packaging process. I have built an app, using third party software, that I would like to upload to the Mac store for trial/testing purposes. I have joined the Apple Developers Programme, but am unsure whether I need to invest in third-party certification (e.g. Verisign) or can self-certify my app package. I would be obliged if someone would outline the sequence of steps that I need to follow to create a package that can be offered to users, and confirm whether my AD License is sufficient for me to follow same. Thanks in advance for any advice. Regards, L

Hello, I apologize for my poor English. Due to the discontinuation of the altool command line tool for notarizing client applications on Mac, we are transitioning from the altool command line to the notarytool command line. However, when attempting to add a profile to Keychain, the following command returns an error if the userID or password is incorrect: xcrun notarytool store-credentials "AC_PASSWORD" --apple-id "mailadress" --team-id "TEAMID" --password xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx Although the password and other credentials have been entered correctly multiple times, it is possible that a step is being missed. The current process is as follows: Belonging to the Apple Developer Program of the client. Generating an app-specific password from the apple ID account page with TEAMID. Adding a profile to Keychain with the above information using the notarytool command line, where the error occurs. If anyone has experience using the notarytool or has notarized Mac applications using an alternative method, any advice on the steps would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

I am building plug-ins for audio software.

The closest thing I could find was this forum post but the bundles seems to be correctly seen by MacOs as a bundle and not as a folder I really lost at this point may Eskimo come shed some enlightenment on my poor newbie soul 🙏 Have a nice day !

I'm encountering a peculiar issue with my macOS installer application when hardened runtime is enabled (--options runtime) during code signing, and I'm hoping to get some guidance on how to resolve it. Issue Description: My installer application is designed to prompt users for system credentials upon launch. After entering the correct credentials and clicking "OK", users should see the next screen to proceed with the installation process. However, with hardened runtime enabled, the application stops responding after the credential entry step. The next screen, where users should proceed with installation, does not appear. If I codesign without using hardened runtime, my installer works fine. However it fails during notarization. What I've Tried: I have reviewed Apple's documentation on hardened runtime and notarization to ensure I'm following best practices. I've checked the Console logs for any relevant error messages or warnings, but haven't found any conclusive information. Additional Information: The application is an installer built using bitrock installbuilder. It relies on prompting users for system credentials using standard macOS authentication mechanisms. Initially the installer is in tar.gz format which I extract to get .app file. This file is codesigned. Next I create a .DMG of the codesigned .app file and codesign the DMG before sending it for notarization. Request for Assistance: I'm seeking guidance on how to address this issue with my installer application not proceeding after credential entry when hardened runtime is enabled. Are there any specific configurations, entitlements, or best practices that I might be missing? Or are there alternative approaches I should consider to ensure compatibility while still meeting Apple's security requirements for notarization? Any insights or advice from your experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your help!

Previously, we did Notarization with the help of altool, but it has now been decommissioned by Apple. We need to use the Notary tool for Notarization.
My application is not on App-store.So I tried storing credentials in the keychain, but encountered an error after providing all the details, including appleid, app-specific password, and teamid. it is showing this below error. Error: HTTP status code: 401. Unable to authenticate. The application is not allowed for primary authentication. Ensure that all authentication arguments are correct.
 We created app- specific password using the same Apple ID account which also has the certificates with which we are trying to Notarize our application. Initially, we were not able to access this Apple ID account because the employee that created this account has now left the organisation and we do not had enough information for access. We contacted apple and we got Alisas to original Apple ID account after that we were able to create app-specific password. We are not sure if this alias account access is affecting our issue or may be there is some particular setting that could affect the authorisation. Below are the complete info regarding the issue.

Up until about 6 months ago, I was receiving the Apple success or failed email notifications. I no longer get them and can't figure out why. I checked my email rules and even the quarantine in Exchange. What can cause this and what else can I check? I am an Admin on the account but not the Account holder though.

Hello, I've been trying to update my application since days, tried everything, all my environment is unchanged except update to the latest xcode version, I only fixed a bug in my code, and updated my expired certifacates with the same IDs. I've also been able to test the app with testflight. The app is built successfuly, validated, uploaded to the apple connect, submited for review, accepted and published online on the mac app store. I've been able to update the application with the mac app store. Now here is the problem: if I delete the application, and try to reinstall it from the app store, it says: unable to install, try again later - then the mac app store is stuck, I need to quit / restart to be able to try a new install. I also distribute my application outside of the mac app store, I've also signed and notarized my app successfully, with my developer id certificate, I tried with organizer, and also with xcrun notary on the command line, all is ok, but when I run the exported application, it says that the application is damaged (so right click/open works, and the app works well). The only thing that I can see is this (compared with my previous version): spctl -a -vvv -t install myapp.app: myapp.app: rejected (invalid destination for symbolic link in bundle) I don't have the error on my previous version. I've checked all the links inside the package, I don't see any problem or invalid link (and the app can run perfectly.... ) I've also check the logs.json file after the notary result, no problem appears. the whole structure of the application and files inside the .app is exactly the same between the previous version, and the new one with that problem. hope that someone could help me to solve this problem :)

Hi! I am fairly new to Mac/ Python development. I have written a python script that includes the lovely customTkinter Library. the app works, I have checked it extensively, but after creating an executable with both Pyinstaller and Py2app, my app keeps failing notarization. I have the developer account, I have the Developer ID application: Name (xxxxxxxxxx). My last attempt with py2app, I try to codesign the .app bundle with : codesign --deep --force --verbose --options=runtime --timestamp --sign "Developer ID Application: Lennert Esser (5823RMSZ52)" XYZ\ 2\ OSC.app if I do that, I receive a clean message that XYZ 2 OSC.app: signed app bundle with Mach-O universal (x86_64 arm64) [com.myname.appname.app] the verify of the code signature gives nice messages as well: --prepared:/Users/lennert/Documents/SoftwareDevelopment/PythonLocal/Pozyx/dist/XYZ 2 OSC.app/Contents/MacOS/python --validated:/Users/lennert/Documents/SoftwareDevelopment/PythonLocal/Pozyx/dist/XYZ 2 OSC.app/Contents/MacOS/python .... XYZ 2 OSC.app: valid on disk XYZ 2 OSC.app: satisfies its Designated Requirement So I would say, so far so good...? BUT.... if I try to notarize my archived .app bundle. the notarization fails, with looadddssss of errors, with both: "The signature does not include a secure timestamp." and "The binary is not signed with a valid Developer ID certificate." I am completely stuck. Believe me, I have tried everything. Google, ChatGTP, multiple tries to codesign everything separately with: find /path/to/my/app/contents -type f -exec codesign -s "Developer ID application: Name (xxxxxxxxxx)" {} ; please, please someone help me explain what I am doing wrong....

Hello there. I'm having trouble with notarization in Xcode. I'm developing a Swift Mac app with Xcode 14, but even when I enable Hardened Runtime and perform notarization, it displays the message "Hardened Runtime is not enabled" and I can't proceed. The steps for notarization are [Window] -> [Organizer] -> [Distribute App] -> [Developer ID] [Next] -> [Upload]. Could you please tell me what I should check, or any other information? I've attached screenshots. Thank you.

Hi there, My app detects connected BlackMagic devices on a user's machine and this is done using the DeckLink SDK which first tries to load /Library/Frameworks/DeckLinkAPI.framework using CFBundleCreate. I have not been able to create a notarized app which successfully detects the devices. Either the DeckLinkAPI works or the app starts up without showing "the developer cannot be verified" on my test computer but never both. This is what I've tried so far: signed app: DeckLinkAPI available hardened runtime: DeckLinkAPI not available hardened runtime + com.apple.security.cs.disable-library-validation: DeckLinkAPI available, notarization succeeds yet the "the developer cannot be verified" I've also tried to use weak linking to DeckLinkAPI.framework instead of including the SDK's CFBundleCreate code but that made no difference: I still needed the com.apple.security.cs.disable-library-validation entitlement for that to work which caused "the developer cannot be verified". DeckLinkAPI.framework is notarized: > codesign --test-requirement="=notarized" --verify --verbose /Library/Frameworks/DeckLinkAPI.framework /Library/Frameworks/DeckLinkAPI.framework: valid on disk /Library/Frameworks/DeckLinkAPI.framework: satisfies its Designated Requirement /Library/Frameworks/DeckLinkAPI.framework: explicit requirement satisfied Is there any way to successfully notarize an app to use the DeckLink SDK or any other thirdparty notarized framework which is distributed seperately?

Hello, I've developed an application using ElectronNET with C# and Blazor Server. I have managed to deploy to both Windows and the web but having trouble deploying the application to my Mac users. It's my first time deploying an application for Mac but feel like I'm stuck at the last hurdle and out of ideas so I'm reaching out for help. My application is successfully signing but during the build and when my Notarize.js is running it seems to get stuck indefinitely. I can check and see the status of the Notarize attempts but they seem to be stuck "In Progress". Here are the logs.

Error code 1 "bundle format unrecognized, invalid, or unsuitable" Yea, I'm trying to codesign a python app which has been bundled with py2app, but without success. The codesign process logs a whole bunch of files with the above error. def sign_file(file_path, certificate_common_name, hardened_runtime=False): sign_command = [ "codesign", "-s", certificate_common_name, "--force", "--timestamp", "-v", file_path ] if hardened_runtime: sign_command.append("--options=runtime") success, message = run_command(sign_command) there are literally hundreds of files that fail, and the path may look something like this; code/dist/Impulse.app/Contents/Resources/lib/python3.10/plotly/validators/splom/marker: Needless to say that notorization returns "failed" Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have signed and notarized a single executable file command line tool developed outside Xcode, and distributed outside of the App store by way of a download from a website as follows below, but nevertheless gatekeeper blocks running the tool with the usual message, just like without signing or notarization. If I remove the com.apple.quarantine xattr, the tool runs as it should without gatekeeper interference, as expected. I have browsed countless posts here, with similar issues, but in the end I can't find what's wrong with the process. From what I gather, as long as the target Mac is connected to the Internet, stapling should not be required (I do understand I can't staple a single file executable command line tool), although Gatekeeper would be expected to complain in the case of the first run being done without Internet connection. The certificate is a "Developer Id Application" certificate, installed and valid on the machine doing the signing. It is unclear to me what the distinction is between "Developer Id Application" and "Developer Id Installer" certificates, but it's confusing that using -t install with spctl will actually accept the app. The app is open source and available on GitHub (although the full distribution packaging is done in a separate build environment with some additional logic). The app used below as the target for signing and notarization is available to download from https://www.axantum.com/ in a .tar.gz archive. Here follows a log of commands and output: XecretsCli.plist: (This was necessary to add to the signing to avoid corruption of the executable by the code signing) codesign -s GCXRMT5SQC -f --timestamp -s 0CF6800E595AA6DE9EBB905066619A9BFDD17A77 --entitlements XecretsCli.plist -o runtime XecretsCli codesign -d -vvv --entitlements :- XecretsCli Executable=/Users/svante/Downloads/XecretsCli-Osx-2.3.567 3/XecretsCli Identifier=XecretsCli Format=Mach-O thin (x86_64) CodeDirectory v=20500 size=271478 flags=0x10000(runtime) hashes=8473+7 location=embedded Hash type=sha256 size=32 CandidateCDHash sha256=d3a8216fcb22b4a4af7bd0157ecc3d2b6be9f9b2 CandidateCDHashFull sha256=d3a8216fcb22b4a4af7bd0157ecc3d2b6be9f9b20c9e3c17e107f08c7ae75c5a Hash choices=sha256 CMSDigest=d3a8216fcb22b4a4af7bd0157ecc3d2b6be9f9b20c9e3c17e107f08c7ae75c5a CMSDigestType=2 CDHash=d3a8216fcb22b4a4af7bd0157ecc3d2b6be9f9b2 Signature size=8987 Authority=Developer ID Application: Axantum Software AB (GCXRMT5SQC) Authority=Developer ID Certification Authority Authority=Apple Root CA Timestamp=Jun 20, 2024 at 13:26:05 Info.plist=not bound TeamIdentifier=GCXRMT5SQC Runtime Version=13.1.0 Sealed Resources=none Internal requirements count=1 size=172 Warning: Specifying ':' in the path is deprecated and will not work in a future release codesign -v -vvv --strict --deep XecretsCli XecretsCli: valid on disk XecretsCli: satisfies its Designated Requirement zip XecretsCli.zip XecretsCli adding: XecretsCli (deflated 63%) xcrun notarytool submit "XecretsCli.zip" --keychain-profile "Notarize" --wait Conducting pre-submission checks for XecretsCli.zip and initiating connection to the Apple notary service...

Good day, I'm trying to get my app notarized, so I can distribute it, but my submissions get stuck on 'In Progess'. On the 20th of June I made several submissions which seems to have disappeared. When I do 'xcrun notarytool history' they are not there anymore. On the 21th Of June I made 2 new submission attempts with ids d68ca68e-ddfb-42c2-a491-0b24ac6efdc2 and 5f0118c9-0edd-4213-827b-a2ff53e40f27, which had been running for several hours last time I checked on the the 21th, but have also disappeared over the weekend from my history. I checked the app with the steps described here: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/security/notarizing_macos_software_before_distribution/resolving_common_notarization_issues, but all the checks were fine. Since there is no error message or log, I have no clue why my submissions get stuck on 'In Progress' or disappear. I've just submitted a new attempt with id 23a39a69-79a8-435c-a500-17ce1422c1fc and again it's stuck. Can anybody give any assistance?

We've been notarizing apps for a while now and have been through agreement changes before. But we still keep getting the following error when trying to notarize: Conducting pre-submission checks for myapp.dmg and initiating connection to the Apple notary service... Error: HTTP status code: 403. A required agreement is missing or has expired. This request requires an in-effect agreement that has not been signed or has expired. Ensure your team has signed the necessary legal agreements and that they are not expired. We've been through every document in our account to ensure it is signed. Is there any way to determine what document is not signed or what our issue is ? ...thanks

This afternoon notarization started throwing an error in terminal. I confirmed that the NOTARIZE_APP_LOG was created, but empty. I have been notarizing our apps on this machine (intel-12.7) with Xcode 13.4.1 for over a year without issue. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated 9192 Bus error: 10 xcrun notarytool submit --apple-id "$ASC_USERNAME" --password "$ASC_PASSWORD" --team-id "$ASC_TEAM" "$ZIP_PATH" > "$NOTARIZE_APP_LOG" 2>&1 Translated Report (Full Report Below) Process: notarytool [9192] Path: /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/notarytool Identifier: notarytool Version: ???
