How to Code Sign a Mac App?

Hi
I'm fairly new to Mac OS X Development (been developing apps for the iPhone though). We've recently developed an app that requires Bonjour/internet connectivity and now the Mac asks the user each time if they'd like to allow the app for incoming connections. It seems eventhough the user clicks 'Allow', for some users it still doesn't work (i.e. connection from other devices over bonjour fails) and we feel it's a firewall issue.
We need to somehow codesign the app so that the Mac does not ask this question each time. How can one ensure their app is not 'firewalled'? Thanks!

Here you go, it's not too hard once you get stuff set up: Code Signing Guide.
Once you get this identify set up, double-click on your target and one of the build settings sections will show code signing options. Just choose your setup from the popup menu.
Hope this helps....

How can't I sign into Mac App store?

I have two Mac Book Pro, one 13" using at Work and another 15" using at home. Everything is fine with MBP at home. I can use Mac App Store without any problem. But at office I guess it happened in last two weeks, I had a problem to sign in Mac App Store. I can navigate and look all apps in the Featured, Top Charts and Categories. But when I want to see Purchases, asks me to sign in. I enter my Apple ID and password correctly but it says "An unkown error has occured" and can't sign into Mac App Store. I've attached snapshot for this here. I searched forums and discussions on WEB and did many things like deleting files, ByHost, Network Pref etc. Everything I have seen on the WEB useful. But unfortunately couldn't pass that. I have other Apple products and my Apple ID works well at them also at WEB.
Yesterday, this problematic MBP at work installed updates for iPhoto and OSX Mountain Lion but didn't let me sign in.
Does anybody has a solution for that which is not written at discussion or at SERPs?
Thanks for the useful help, will appreciate deeply.

FYI, this article was a HUGE help.
Long story short, I activated the App Store debug menu and simply chose "Reset Application". I was good to go after that.

How do I download the Mac App Store using OS X 10.5.8

how do I download the Mac App Store using OS X 10.5.8

Well, you can cancel your Snow Leopard order if it hasn't already shipped. You need not wait on it as you can download Mountain Lion now that you have a redemption coupon (I assume that's what you meant by the email.)
After Mountain Lion is installed you can download a free copy of Mavericks. This all assumes that your computer meets the requirements for Mountain Lion.
Before you do any upgrade I strongly urge you to do this:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
Personally, I would erase the hard drive then install the new OS X version. First, make a backup of your files from which you can later restore.

Delete the App Store app by dragging it and dropping it into the Trash. Then download and install the appropriate update combo for your version of OS X;
Install new MAS app -
OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.3 update combo

OS X Lion 10.7.5 update combo

How do i update my Mac App store bought Photoshop Elements?

How do i update my Mac App store bought Photoshop Elements 9? Adobe says Apple handles updates, no updates were ever issued via App Store. Manual downloads on adobe.com results in Patch not compatible on both a security/bug fix update to PE9 and Camera Raw 6.5 update that adds more supported cameras.
All together, it means i have 80$ of useless software that doesn't support new camera models. Not happy.

For some reason, Adobe pulled Photoshop Elements 9 from the Mac App Store. It may be related to the fact they released version 11 just 6 days ago? (Note that I'm checking right now and in the US app store - other county app stores may differ.)
In any case, because it is no longer existing, you won't be able to get any future updates. If I were you, I'd contact Adobe and specifically ask why they removed the app from the App Store, preventing their users from downloading any updates in the future.

Hi Kristy,
Update to 10.6.8 to use the app store.
Your MBP's hardware requirements should be fine for iLife 11:

How can I redeem an OS X code from the Mac App Store without a Mac?

I had to erase my mac and I purchased a new license of OS X Lion for it, but need to redeem it at the App store before I can install it on the Mac. Any direction would be helpful.
Thank You.

You can't. The Mac App Store app is required to download OS X Lion. Without a Mac, you can't have the app.

Code signing on mac

I have been working on a utility to sign applications on mac. I am doing so by running the codesign command with appropriate arguments. Just that I'm executing this command by wrapping it up in a simple java application.
This utility however seamleslly works on a 10.6 mac and fails to do so on 10.7/10.8 versions. I have not been able to get to the depth of this scenario.
Does code-signing depend on mac versions? Are there different ways in which mac handles signing?

Why?
Can you even submit apps with 10.6 or 10.7 anymore? When it comes to worrying about backwards compatibility, test the application, forget about the tools. Run the tools only on 10.8.2 and test them on 10.8.3.

Invalid Code Signing Entitlements "inter-app-audio"

I uploaded my binary file to the iTunes Connect portal an recived this mesage:
"Invalid Code Signing Entitlements - Your application bundle's signature contains code signing entitlements that are not supported. Please check your Xcode project's code signing entitlements configuration, and remove any unneeded entitlements.
Specifically, key "inter-app-audio" is not supported.
Once these issues have been corrected, go to the Version Details page and click "Ready to Upload Binary." Continue through the submission process until the app status is "Waiting for Upload." You can then deliver the corrected binary."
Does anyone now how to solve this problem?

Hi,
did you solve your problem yet??
I got almost the same error response from application loader.
However, that series entitlement values was not set by us,
and I have no idea where is that values come from.
Does anyone know how to solve this??

Trouble signing into mac app store for updates

The app store icon in my launchbar indicates that I have 3 updates available, and I would like to update. So I click the "update" button next to each item, and I am asked to sign in with my apple ID. I do, then I receive a message saying more info is needed, and I am redirected to a web site that explains what an Apple ID is and how to create one. I know I am entering my ID and password correctly because when I try doing it another way, I get the "incorrect ID or password" mesage. And of course, I managed to sign in to the Apple Support Community.
So how do I get my updates?
Any help is appreciated!

Thanks for this recommendation. After contacting iTunes support, here's the meat of the response I got:
Angela, I would suggest that you review your account's information using the iTunes application on your computer and then follow the steps below:
1) Open iTunes.
2) From the Store menu, choose Sign In.
3) Enter your Apple ID and its password, and click Sign In.
4) You will see a dialog saying this: "This Apple ID has not yet been used with the iTunes Store. Please review your account information." Click Review and follow the onscreen instructions to sign in with the account.
Followed these steps, then all I had to do was enter my credit card information (I never got to that screen before), and now my Apple ID is fully functional, so I can download apps from the mac app store and install my updates. ...Yet more proof that money truly can buy happiness.
I hope I don't run into similar problems in the future...as a relatively new mac user, I would have expected the process of creating a freakin' ID to be somewhat more streamlined.
Anyway, if anyone else has the same issue, now you know what to do. =)

How can I reset the Mac App Store?

Hello!
For some time now, I did not get any update in Mac App Store meaning that there was nothing when klicking on "Updates". Yesterday, I finally looked under "Purchases" (or how is it calles in the English version?) and saw that there were a couple of updates. So, I updated all of them. When returning to the purchases, they were still marked as Applications to update. After repairing the rights in Disk Utility, I got a new update this morning using the "Update" Button again. But all other programs do still have the update button as described even as they are updated already. The version of those I checked was the new one.
What I did already:
- I deleted 2 Apps in finder and installed them again - afterwards, again the Update-Button
- I deleted cache and resetted everything in iTunes
- I activated the debug menu and deleted the cache and resetted
- I deleted files in ~/Library as described in https://discussions.apple.com/thread...art=0&tstart=0
It seems as if the MAS saves somewhere again which programs are installed in what versions. Probably it couldn't modify that file and is still showing the wrong details. Where can I reset that file? It's just not good if you don't know which App is updated and which one isn't.

Sorry, that's not it:
If you have updates available there will be a red badge where you see Updates in the menu top of the App Store window.
That's what I did not have for a few weeks. That was the start...
I finally looked under "Purchases" (or how is it calles in the English version?) and saw that there were a couple of updates
Updates are not available from the Purchases tab.
Maybe I did not call that correctly, but updates are shown in Parchases tab as well:
Usually, the "Aktualisieren" Button is shown only, if there is an Update in Update tab as well. But that's exactly the thing that does not fit any more for a couple of Apps.
Just dragging the apps to the Trash does not delete all the associated files.
Download and install this free utility to uninstall apps > Download AppCleaner for Mac - Uninstall your apps easily. MacUpdate.com
I know that and I have AppCleander installed. But that's not the point since I do want to have a correct view inside the App Store. Instead of the red circles, there should the the word "installed".
Now when you re download an app, the latest version will be installed.
Disk Utilty / Permissions has nothing to do with your updates from the App Store.
Correct for the Application itself but all the data used by the App Store needs to be saved somewhere - that's what I'm talking about.
I hope I could make this a bit clearer now!
Thanks for your quick answer!

How much memory/space are Mac Apps Taking?

I know this is probably a very simple question for you experts but as a newbie, I dont know how to figure it out. Im trying to find out how much hard drive space (and maybe memory?) the apps I have downloaded from the Mac App Store are taking up? Where would I find this? Ive looked in the Finder but couldnt find what I was looking for? Does the Activity Moniitor or something else break it down to just the Mac Apps?
Also do you know if Time Machine saves your organizational Launchpad Folders when you back up your machine? Just was curious if you had to switch macs or something, if the folders would all come back up or if its best to keep a list of what apps you have in what folders.
I also was wondering if anyone else has had a problem of your Launchpad Folders and individual apps within folders getting out of order when you have to restart your system. Since I dont yet have an iphone and apps were new to me, I got a little crazy in downloading a bunch of free apps and games (many of which I think Im going to start deleting because I dont really use them)...but Ive organized them in all in alphabetical order - Ive got folders in Alphabetical Order as well as the apps within folders in alphabetical order. Its strange becuase whenever my system gets restarted, several of the folders and apps get mixed up. Ive been working with Apple techs on this for weeks but just curious if anyone else has had a similar problem. The tech told me most people dont keep it as well organized as I do.
Thanks.

You can do this:

To find out how much hard drive space (or how large the App is), Right-Click on the App in your Applications folder and choose Get Info. This will show you xx MBs on Disk (hard drive). To see how much memory the App is using, check Activity Monitor while the App is running. It will be on the list of all processes running.
But you can also click the  (apple) in the upper left hand corner of the screen and select about this mac>more infor>storage

Getting Error Code 13 with Mac App Store on OS X Lion

Hey all,
I just updated my Macbook to Mac OS X Lion. Now whenever I go into Mac App Store, I can log into my Apple ID but cannot redownload any of my previous purchases.
I continue to get the error 13 for any of my downloads. I've tried rebooting my Mac, logging out and back into my Apple ID on the Mac App Store.
Nothing works. Any idea?

I figured it out.
I signed up for another Apple ID account within the Mac Apple Store. After completing the validation, I logged into the new account then logged out.
Closed down the Mac App Store and relaunched it. Then I logged in using my original Apple ID with all my purchases linked to it.
I'm now available to download items fine without error. I hope this helps others with the same issue.

How to ignore updates in mac app store

Hi, can you tell me how to ignore updates in the mac app store.

This is the second old thread that you have dug up today with your brand new account and posted a snotty comment. At best the hosts will edit your other comment, but more likely they will delete it. You agreed not to criticize Apple, its products and business decisions earlier today when you opened your new account. You have already violated that commitment.

Code signing Windows Store Apps

I can't get a very clear answer on the code signing requirement for deploying Windows Store Apps to the app store, even after searching the Internet for a couple of days. Specifically, my question is: are you required (not just recommended) to have a third
party Code Signing Certificate to publish to the Windows App Store?
I am not distributing the app to internal customers, but rather to external customers via the app store. If I'm missing this requirement documented in the documentation available on this site, can you point me to it?
Michael

All methods of deployment (Windows Store, PowerShell or System Center Configuration Manager) require the application to be signed using a certificate. The Windows Store channel requires a signing certificate
from a publicly trusted CA because, well, the testers in the approval process won't have access to your internal PKI.
