Hello there!
I'm trying to sign code in Xamarin Mac. I've imported the certificates with Xcode. I'm creating an application that will be distributed outside the Apple store. When I select the 'Sign the application bundle' in General->Mac Signing -> Checkbox and then select the 'Developer ID' the code will not build. The compiler complains with: "Error: No valid OS X code signing keys found in keychain. You need to request a codesigning certificate from https://developer.apple.com." - This is odd as I have done this.
When I uncheck the box compile and use codesign to sign the app I get an error:
codesign --verify --verbose --sign "Developer ID Installer: " xxx.app /tmp/xxx-signed.app
Segmentation fault: 11
If I use the "Mac Developer" name for the key the compiler will run and then pass codesign verification. However, it fails spctl:
spctl --assess --verbose xxx.app
I'm very lost here. There appears to be a problem with Xamarin. Then there appears to be a conflict between codesign & spctl. I find this all quite odd. I can't any of these tools to point out a library or something that is causing the problem.
Anyone have any clues as to where I can start? I figured that by taking the signing out of Xamarin that I would be making the process a bit more easy to break down. Is there a 1-10 step guide to doing this? I've read though the docs on the developer.apple.com. In concept it's simple. Application seems to be a different story.
Thanks for any assistance!
