Air Apps for OSX: Terminal Script is not working anymore -> code object is not signed at all

Dear Adobe Team,

I received some help from the Apple Developer Technical Support. They showed me a workaround - but there are still some issues. They suggested to contact Adobe about this problem.

Here is what  Apple Developer Technical Support wrote:

The Adobe AIR framework has some issues where it isn't compliant with the rules in Nested Code about where code and resources are expected to live within a bundle. I suggest contacting Adobe to see if they have a newer version that fixes these issues.

While strict compliance with that documentation may not affect your app today, anything that doesn't meet the requirements stated in that technical note may be rejected by code signing verification (and the Mac App Store validator, in the case of Mac App Store apps) at any point in the future without notice.

I was able to get the app to be signed with this sequence:

$ codesign -f -s "3rd Party Mac Developer Application:"  EyeFitness.app/Contents/Frameworks/Adobe\ AIR.framework/Versions/Current/Adobe\ AIR_64\ Helper

$ codesign -f -s "3rd Party Mac Developer Application:"  EyeFitness.app/Contents/Frameworks/Adobe\ AIR.framework/Versions/Current/Adobe\ AIR_64

$ codesign -f -s "3rd Party Mac Developer Application:"  EyeFitness.app/Contents/Frameworks/Adobe\ AIR.framework/Versions/Current/Adobe\ AIR

$ codesign -f -s "3rd Party Mac Developer Application:"  EyeFitness.app/Contents/Frameworks/Adobe\ AIR.framework/

$ codesign -f -s "3rd Party Mac Developer Application:"  EyeFitness.app/Contents/MacOS/Eye\ Fitness

$ codesign -f -s "3rd Party Mac Developer Application:"  EyeFitness.app

But this is a workaround. The long-term solution is to include a properly-formed framework.

1.) So this is the new Terminal Script I used without getting any Code object is not signed at all error messages:

cd /Users/essig/Desktop cp MacProcess/Info.plist EyeFitness.app/Contents/Info.plist cp MacProcess/Icon.icns EyeFitness.app/Contents/Resources/Icon.icns chmod -R 777 EyeFitness.app codesign -f -v -s "3rd Party Mac Developer Application: Jan Essig" EyeFitness.app/Contents/Frameworks/Adobe\ AIR.framework/Versions/Current/Adobe\ AIR_64\ Helper codesign -f -v -s "3rd Party Mac Developer Application: Jan Essig" EyeFitness.app/Contents/Frameworks/Adobe\ AIR.framework/Versions/Current/Adobe\ AIR_64 codesign -f -v -s "3rd Party Mac Developer Application: Jan Essig" EyeFitness.app/Contents/Frameworks/Adobe\ AIR.framework/Versions/Current/Adobe\ AIR codesign -f -v -s "3rd Party Mac Developer Application: Jan Essig" EyeFitness.app/Contents/Frameworks/Adobe\ AIR.framework/ codesign -f -v -s "3rd Party Mac Developer Application: Jan Essig" EyeFitness.app/Contents/MacOS/Eye\ Fitness codesign -f -v -s "3rd Party Mac Developer Application: Jan Essig" EyeFitness.app codesign -f -v -s "3rd Party Mac Developer Application: Jan Essig" --entitlements MacProcess/entitlement.plist EyeFitness.app codesign --display --entitlements - EyeFitness.app product build --component EyeFitness.app /Applications Eyenstaller.pkg --sign "3rd Party Mac Developer Installer: Jan Essig"

2.) And this is what Terminal did to generate the .pkg file:

3.) Unfortunately - as soon as I try to install the App via the newly generated Eyenstaller.pkg file - the fresh installed EyeFitness.app inside mit "Programms Folder" is broken.

See Screenshots:

When trying to launch the App I get this error Message:

It says something like: You can not open the App because its corrupted or broken.

I hope you can help & fix this issue!

Best regards

Jan

Side note:

A team mate received the exact same code object not signed at all messages on his computer using the old terminal script from the initial post above. So the problem has nothing to do with the Mac certificates, my Keychain etc. - they are all fine - but with the Adobe Air Framework itself.
