Problem about macOS Notarization

[KR-san]

Sorry,I use poor English.

We have a lot of AS2 era applications.
We've been fighting with GateKeeper for macOS users.
(e-sign / Installer to create in "application" folder...)
We also support 64bit.
And now I am applying for a notarization, There are a few applications that are "invalid".

This is error log.
{
  "logFormatVersion": 1,
  "jobId": [hidden],
  "status": "Invalid",
  "statusSummary": "Archive contains critical validation errors",
  "statusCode": 4000,
  "archiveFilename": [hidden],
  "uploadDate": [hidden],
  "sha256": [hidden],
  "ticketContents": null,
  "issues": [
    {
      "severity": "error",
      "code": null,
      "path": [hidden]"/Contents/MacOS/Flash Player",
      "message": "The executable does not have the hardened runtime enabled.",
      "docUrl": null,
      "architecture": "i386"
    },
    {
      "severity": "error",
      "code": null,
      "path": [hidden]"/Contents/MacOS/Flash Player",
      "message": "The executable does not have the hardened runtime enabled.",
      "docUrl": null,
      "architecture": "x86_64"
    }
  ]
}

Many notary apps have "warning" level issues. ("message" is same.)
There is no functional difference between the two apps.
(Unfortunately it's not something I developed)
Illustration, text and Animation are very different.

Therefore, I think that the difference in publish settings is the cause.
However,I can't solve it.Do you have the information?

Maybe Flash is not enabled on your browser.

you should enable it everytime you visit the website, it's a restricition from the browsers (unfortunately)

[KR-san]

I don't get your saying.

Ah.....I'm writing about Flash Projector(Stand-alone FlashProjector).

Do you not misunderstand?

[Robert Mc Dowell]

please provide your code or FLA

[KR-san]

Sorry, I can't do that because it's a application of the company.

[Robert Mc Dowell]

so without more info it's impossible to guess what's happening.

[Nicktendo28]

Have you thought about wrtiting it in AS3 or Javascript? Those are more current. As2 is no longer supported.

[Robert Mc Dowell]

@nickg28

I think that today if some developers/companies still are using As2 that's because they don't have choice.

So a recurrent question like this is more irritable than helpful.

[Nicktendo28]

I am sorry to make you irritable, but I just wanted you to know that Adobe killed AS2 years ago and there is just not a lot of support for it anymore. It was also to let you know there are other options. The other reason I am telling you this is because AS2 is no longer a part of Adobe Animate/flash might be why you're getting the error. Not to make you feel irritable. Sorry I couldn't be more of a help. Good luck to you.

@nickg28

I just said it since everyone knows that as2 can migrate into as3 in 2019, so it's not necessary

to recall everytime as if developers posting here didn't know.

[Nicktendo28]

No Problem. Again. Sorry, I couldn't more of a help.

[Robert Mc Dowell]

no worries

Yeah, Everything you say is correct.

We have also concentrated on Adobe AIR (AS3) and HTML5 for the last 10 years.

However, I have been in business since the 90's.(Macromedia Director era)

There are many unconverted applications because the staff decreased.

Thankfully, Some of our users often use old-fashioned applications.

I think that there are no more than 10-20 people in the world who are interested in such maniac topic.

Honestly, I think the information I can provide is not enough to solve.

Nevertheless, I hope to get information or hint....

I will report again if the zombies is notarized.

[KR-san · Accepted solution]

The problem was solved.
I just added an option "--options runtime" when using the "codesign" command.
I found this in the Xojo forum. But I do not know the detailed mechanism.

However,the other day,Apple announced that it will loosen the notarization standard. it may pass without doing anything.

Ancient AS2 applications has landed on the Catalina Island!
