Title: Re: OS X 10.8 Security & Applescripts - "unidentified developer"
Stepping back a moment from dealing with the problems associated with compliance with this new demand, can anyone tell me how this is a benefit to the world of scripting. It strikes me as simply another
attempt to establish control where no control is needed, for the benefit of those who wish to hold control. Once that control is firmly established will come demands for money, to buy the certificate, or restrictions on what can be circulated so as to not
threaten someone’s domination or authority. This, in a nutshell, is the history of man (and is almost always sold under the term “security”).
If we don’t trust a script, and/or can’t evaluate what it will actually do, DON’T RUN IT. End of security problem.

I realized I was not removing write permissions from main.scpt but from the main .app itself. But I just removed write permissions from main.scpt before signing - using "chmod a-w" and then
codesigning. I'm still getting the same error on Mountain Lion - "this file is damaged, You should move to trash."
I remember watching a tutorial about making sure to specify the bundleIdentifier in Info.plist before signing (so they match). Does it matter what I'm typing into the bundleIdentifer field in info.plist? How could I check this? Also, is there anything else
I need in Info.plist I might be missing?

persistence in mind.
