RE: Building a Standalone MacOS App in 9.6.1
Hi Terence, This last year I've compiled and run several apps for Catalina. In the last month I've made four builds for MacOS Big Sur. I have never needed to sign the app. I have taken the applications on a USB to several clients and the only message I have received is the typical message: "Are you sure to run this application. It has been downloaded from the Internet and may not be reliable and bla, bla.." Sometimes, when MacOS blocks you from opening an app, it lists the app on the General tab on the Security & Privacy panel in System Preferences. Head to that panel and you'll see the blocked app listed with an Open Anyway button to create an exception and install it.

Re: Building a Standalone MacOS App in 9.6.1
So far I have been able to explain to my limited client base that this can be side stepped, and they are ok with that for now (AKA don’t want to pay for the necessary upgrade that will be needed). If you double-click to open the app you will get a notice that the app isn’t notarized and you can’t launch. If you right-click (ctrl-click) on the app and select Open rather than double-clicking to open, your user will be given notice that the app isn’t notarized but will allow them to launch anyway. I don’t see the notice when developing personal apps for use on my own machine. I’m assuming this is because the Developer key (or certificate?) is on my keychain so the app is somewhat verified. —Andrew Bell > > Date: Wed, 6 Jan 2021 16:17:23 +0100 > From: Tore Nilsen > To: How to use LiveCode > Subject: Re: Building a Standalone MacOS App in 9.6.1 > Message-ID: <84be53be-afd1-4fa2-b874-5d22b4eda...@me.com> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii > > > >> 6. jan. 2021 kl. 15:48 skrev Paul Dupuis via use-livecode >> : >> >> macOS Catalina or Big Sur apps have to be code signed AND notarized.

I guess this is needed for an iOS app, but then again you cannot build an iOS app with LiveCode Community Sorry, I thought you meant building a macOS app to deploy to other people rather than for your own use on your own computer. Gatekeeper will throw a ton of obstacles and warnings for any app not signed and notarized that you download and try to install on Catalina or Big Sur. Technically, there is probably some way to instruct people how to circumvent Gatekeeper objections. ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode

Re: Building a Standalone MacOS App in 9.6.1
macOS Catalina or Big Sur apps have to be code signed AND notarized. You must have the command line tools installed and there is a non-trivial number of commands you have to execute to prepare you app for code signing, then code sign it, and then notarize it, including obtaining an app specific password from Apple. Livecode has a pretty decent tutorial on their web site on the whole lengthy process.

Re: Building a Standalone MacOS App in 9.6.1
Hello Terry, Just a clarification - the correct command is: sudo xcode-select --install and not sudo xcode-select —install Hope this helps.
