Hi All,

I’m try to build my application for Mac. It compels ok, but I get this Code Sign Error. I

I have run into this in the past. As I recall, some of the artwork (app icons, images used in the app, etc.) had extended Finder information set.

Hi

Try
xattr -cr <path_to_app_bundle>
to remove the extended attributes that are triggering those errors.

Hi,

Thanks for the info, I’m not sure what is meany by the “App Bundle” ?

I have an XCode project with a bunch of source files and resources, not sure if this is the “App Bundle”?

The App Bundle is the application you are building with Xcode.  Some of the non-code files that you are including in your application like image files, artwork, help files, etc., have extended Finder info bits set, which code signing does not like.

These files with extended attributes are copied from your project files to your app bundle.

I suggest you using xattr -cr <path_to_app_bundle> in your project folder. This will clean all the extended attributes from the files you are using, so they will not bring them to your App bundle when copied.

Actually that should be xattr -cr <path_to_project_resources_directory> otherwise you'll see this message on every build since the original files to be copied into the app bundle will continue to have the attributes set.

You are right. I forgot to change the path…

However I think Xcode should strip those “detritus” when copying the files to the app bundle… Also the error message a bit cryptic.

Ok, that’s what was confusing me! I thought it should be done to the resources files themselves…..
