Hi Everyone,

 

Publising my .fla to an .app (AIR32 embedded to run on MacOS X outside the Mac-App-Store) in Animate 2021.

Using a new Apple Development ID .p12 certificate in the Animate Publish settings.

Error message when publishing "Could not sign the AIR file. Unable to build a valid certificate chain for the signer".

 

Has anyone met this and have any comments / pointers / solution? 

 

Regards,

Em.

    Did you find a solution to this issue?

     

    I did not have this problem until the apps that I am publishing for July 2022.  Surely someone has found the magic.  Hope to hear from you.

    that's usually a keychain issue.  i recommend you google the problem to search for solutions.

     

    btw, your air32 is 32bit and won't run on mac's with newer (10.15 or later) 64 bit only os'es.

    Thanks for the reply Kglao.

    I thought AIR 32 was 64 bit for both Mac and Windows but not Android?

    Is this not the case?

    you are correct, at least, for mac, AIR 64-bit on Mac OSX (adobe.com)
