Hi, the documentation says that an application bundle for Mac OS X can have a Frameworks folder within Contents. Using a framework for console applications (no bundle) and GUI applications (bundle), I cannot load the console applications anymore on Ventura. Prior to Ventora I have tested and ran both on Mojave or earlier - I am not sure. To fix the issue, I have moved the frameworks within the application bundle to match the rpath for /Users/lothar/Library/Frameworks when I place the console into /Users/lothar/bin, the same rpath for application bundles works for those within the bin folder. Can I publish an application bundle with that modified layout or do I have to expect getting problems and do rather a Symlink pointing from /Users/lothar/Frameworks to /Users/lothar/Library/Frameworks? Thanks, Lothar

Hi, I am totally unaware of the new notarize mechanism and generally starting to sign my application after having ported it to M2. I want to distribute the app without App Store - yet. My application is an open source tool or better a more complex tool for the software development that contains dylibs and frameworks all within an app bundle. I am using wxWidgets and stumbled upon the build process using install_name_tool temporary for each bundle and probably all libraries that I place into the application bundle to have an @executable_path and not an absolute path. That works so far, but the notarize tool or better checking it with spctl rejects it. A further test with spctl --assess or the like, I have the command lost, shows that are resources missing and I have a hint to use @rpath entries to be added. I am using makefiles and a custom make system where I build up the make commands for each target. I won't modify the rules for each target type, if I could do this in a post build step for all the contents of the app bundle. I have therefore a shell script that handles that additional task yet until code signing and it looks like as follows: #!/bin/sh # Copies together files for the Mac OS X application bundle and created a disk image export prefix=$1 export VERSION=1.3.4 cp ../../../Database/*.sql wxWrapper.app/Contents/Resources cp splash.png wxWrapper.app/Contents/Resources mkdir wxWrapper.app/Contents/Resources/XSLT cp -R ../../../AppDevelopmentDemo/DynamicApp/XSLT_Templates/include wxWrapper.app/Contents/Resources/XSLT/include cp -R ../../../AppDevelopmentDemo/DynamicApp/XSLT_Templates/DMFToXMI wxWrapper.app/Contents/Resources/XSLT/DMFToXMI cp -R ../../../AppDevelopmentDemo/DynamicApp/XSLT_Templates/XMIToDMF wxWrapper.app/Contents/Resources/XSLT/XMIToDMF cp -R ../../../AppDevelopmentDemo/DynamicApp/XSLT_Templates/lbDMFDataViewModel wxWrapper.app/Contents/Resources/XSLT/lbDMFDataViewModel cp -R ../../../AppDevelopmentDemo/DynamicApp/XSLT_Templates/lbDMFFixedFormular wxWrapper.app/Contents/Resources/XSLT/lbDMFFixedFormular cp -R ../../../AppDevelopmentDemo/DynamicApp/XSLT_Templates/TurboVision wxWrapper.app/Contents/Resources/XSLT/TurboVision cp -R ../../../AppDevelopmentDemo/DynamicApp/XSLT_Templates/wxActiveRecords wxWrapper.app/Contents/Resources/XSLT/wxActiveRecords cp -R ../../../AppDevelopmentDemo/DynamicApp/XSLT_Templates/wxLua wxWrapper.app/Contents/Resources/XSLT/wxLua cp ../../../AppDevelopmentDemo/DynamicApp/XSLT_Templates/include/XMISettingsTemplate.xsl wxWrapper.app/Contents/Resources/XSLT/XMIToDMF/XMISettings.xsl cp -R ../../../AppDevelopmentDemo/DynamicApp/UMLSamples wxWrapper.app/Contents/Resources mkdir wxWrapper.app/Contents/Resources/toolbarimages # UGLY!

Despite that I haven't had an active developer ID, I have that now and need to setup the Developer ID Distribution certificate into the keychain. So I plan to add the @rpath values per framework/dylib/so as additional commands into the shell script above. But how can I best verify for successful usage of notary tool? Any help? Thanks, Lothar
