Hi!
I create application with captive runtime for Windows and MacOS. I have some problem connected with MacOS specific, cause I'm newbie in this OS.
I dont want to publish my app in appstore, cause the app have problems with appstore rules.
1) How I should to sign my application? I just pack my app as described in manual http://help.adobe.com/en_US/air/build/WSfffb011ac560372f709e16db131e43659b9-8000.html but I don't see any track of code sign in my .app. I thought that it isn't a problem, before I download my app from network - it don't want to run because dveloper unidentified.
2) My application require update system. I Realize it simply for Windows: my AIR application download updates if it necessary (resources, air lib, main swf file, and exe) and then I replace files with other program. There is no problems with updates, cause codesign is only spread on exe file.
But as I understood I can't use same way to update my .app cause it destroy my codesign, as I know. So, how I should update my MAC app?
UPD1: I found a bit information about 1st here: How to sign your Mac OS X App for Gatekeeper | Successful Software. So, I can't use not apple's sign certificate?
It's a good idea to add :tumbleweed: smile to this forum
I spent 3 days for searching answer and making experiments. So, as a result:
1) To pass MacOS Gatekeeper I should use apple developer certificate.
2) I could change content of signed .app file as I wish. I don't try it with my own app because my certificate is not ready yet, but I successfully change contents of few other signed apps - no issues with running was detected. Maybe there is any problem with my understanding of signature..
