In developing an app that has not been released yet on the app store, does the App Store generate a _MASReceipt/receipt ?
Since my unreleased app does not have a app purchese receipt, the app exits with code 173 to trigger macOS to request a receipt from the App Store.
I enter my testing user ID and password in the App Store validation dialog, but I get the alert message:
MyApp is damaged and can't be opened. Delete "MyApp" and download it again from the App Store.
I use Show Package Contents in the Finder to open the app package but there is no /_MASReceipt/receipt file there.
I definitely have the /_MASReceipt/receipt file in the app package of another app that is available in the App Store.
How do I get a valid _MASReceipt/receipt for testing an unreleased app?
