Paul, You’ll need an Apple Developer Certificate, that must be imported into your OSX machine using KeyChain.
https://kb.4d.com/assetid=78153 If the Apple Developer Certificate has been imported correctly. It did not work for a client of mine, who also purchased DropDMG, and it failed to work too.

Good question. When I double-click the the app I would like it to launch with the data file. I created a folder “Data” and put the various 4D data files in it. Then I put the “Data” folder into the My4D.app. The first time it is launched it asks me to open a data file. I navigate to and select the data file inside of My4D.app. The second time it is launched it remembers where the data file was. So this is a good solution to have everything in one .app package. But sometimes there will be updates and the old data should be used. The everything in one package becomes problematic because it is too hard for the user to deal with the data files. It may be better to have the Data folder outside of the .app to make it easier for my users to swap in new code. It might be tougher for them to locate the old data file. One other thing. I notice that there is a _CodeSignature file in the app. I think the app gets signed in the build interface. Does adding a data folder to the app affect the code signing? Also I signed up to become an Apple Developer. It took me a couple of days to read/skim the 80 page agreement. Now I have to figure out what to do to get code signing approval. I think they call it a ticket.
