codesign for .app is not working | Apple Developer Forums

Developer Forums

Hi I have been signing my app file for awhile. I am using the same application and the same cert for awhile. Not too long ago with the same app I was also able to notarize. But now Apple will not validate my app.

"Error Domain=ITunesSoftwareServiceErrorDomain Code=-20008 \"The Info.plist indicates an iOS app, but submitting a pkg or mpkg.\" UserInfo={NSLocalizedDescription=The Info.plist indicates an iOS app, but submitting a pkg or mpkg., NSLocalizedFailureReason=Unable to validate your application.}"

What is strange is that my plist has not changed. And it is neither an iOS app or pkg, it is an app. I need to sign it first so when I create the dmg I can sign that as well.

my plist -- I redacted the values, but if any Keys are questionable I would like to know

I don’t see a

CFBundleSupportedPlatforms

property; that seems like a good place to start.

Oh, and a good way to investigate this would be to create a new dummy app with Xcode and see what it gets in its

Info.plist

. Pasted in below is an example, created with Xcode 11.2.

Share and Enjoy
