You need to _download_ your Installer package using a web browser in order to have the metadata set that triggers Gatekeeper.

Testing signed installer?

HI all, how can I test that a signed installer is signed properly? I've verified that is is signed by using pkgutil --check-signature, but I want to be SURE it will work on a user's system. I tired setting up a separate partition on my computer with a fresh install of Mountain Lion, but I can run the signed OR unsigned installer there with no problem whatsoever! Shouldn't the unsigned installer give me the Gatekeeper warning? I changed my settings to "Mac App Store", removing the registered developers option, but I can still run either installer version without any warning. Is there some way *I* can test that my signed installer works??? Thanks, Howard _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.

Re: Iceberg installation fails when using scripts

Hi Stephane, thanks for trying out the scripts. Yes, I know that they are minimal. If the script you mentions fails it's quite okay. But I don't think that they are the cause for the odd error messages. My latest tests were with the following script: #! /bin/sh echo test exit 0 Something else must be the problem here. Would it help to upload the pkg file to my website?

When the preflight script is run on my system from the Terminal, it fails. kill: usage: kill [-s sigspec | -n signum | -sigspec] pid | jobspec ... or kill -l [sigspec] I tend to believe you should check that $thepid is set before trying to kill the process because there may not be a "Mail Archiver Scheduler" running process on the system (e.g. first install).

Re: Iceberg installation fails when using scripts

Thanks for the tips. The main problem seems to be: 12.08.12 10:05:19,446 authorizationhost: SFBuiltinEntitled: Installer.app is not entitled for system.install.apple-software (full log below) I have: - added "exit 0" to the scripts - used a minimum script with only "echo test" as main action - tested on another user of the main dev machine - tested on another computer (both main and second machine have been tested with Lion). All tries to install failed with the same error. I googled the error but found nothing conclusive. Some websites said that this issue points to a problem of the machine. But then this should work for a second computer. Is perhaps a setting wrong? The files by themselves ARE installed so this can't be the problem. The files are also quite simple. Main app, manual and a help file. I use no readme, no license. Just the basics. The scripts are what I mainly need. The options are set to: Restart: no restart required Authorization: no Authorization required Flags: non selected Any other ideas? 12.08.12 10:05:03,624 Installer: @(#)PROGRAM:Install PROJECT:Install-690 12.08.12 10:05:03,624 Installer: @(#)PROGRAM:Installer PROJECT:Installer-537 12.08.12 10:05:03,624 Installer: Hardware: MacPro4,1 @ 2.66 GHz (x 8), 6144 MB RAM 12.08.12 10:05:03,625 Installer: Running OS Build: Mac OS X 10.7.4 (11E53) 12.08.12 10:05:03,659 Installer: Mail Archiver X Installation Log 12.08.12 10:05:03,659 Installer: Opened from: /Users/beatrixwillius/Documents/ Datei/Development/Mail Archiver/code current/Builds - max.rbp/Mail Archiver X.pkg 12.08.12 10:05:15,018 Installer: InstallerStatusNotifications plugin loaded 12.08.12 10:05:17,508 Installer: ================================================================================ 12.08.12 10:05:17,508 Installer: User picked Standard Install 12.08.12 10:05:17,508 Installer: Choices selected for installation: 12.08.12 10:05:17,508 Installer: Upgrade: "Mail Archiver X" 12.08.12 10:05:17,508 Installer: ================================================================================ 12.08.12 10:05:19,392 Installer: Configuring volume "Macci" 12.08.12 10:05:19,405 Installer: Free space on "Macci": 220,02 GB (220024684544 bytes). 12.08.12 10:05:19,405 Installer: Create temporary directory "/var/folders/yb/l1kg95s932sgnw_8bl3dd67h0000gr/T//Install.22169JtqgPr" 12.08.12 10:05:19,409 Installer: IFPKInstallElement (1 packages) 12.08.12 10:05:19,446 authorizationhost: SFBuiltinEntitled: Installer.app is not entitled for system.install.apple-software 12.08.12 10:05:19,469 authorizationhost: SFBuiltinEntitled: Installer.app is not entitled for system.install.app-store-software 12.08.12 10:05:19,492 authorizationhost: SFBuiltinEntitled: Installer.app is not entitled for system.install.app-store-software 12.08.12 10:05:19,493 com.apple.SecurityServer: Failed to authorize right 'system.install.app-store-software' by client '/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/PackageKit.framework/Versions/A/Resources/installd' [22184] for authorization created by '/System/Library/CoreServices/Installer.app' [22169] 12.08.12 10:05:19,495 installd: PackageKit: ----- Begin install ----- 12.08.12 10:05:21,057 ReportCrash: DebugSymbols was unable to start a spotlight query: spotlight is not responding or disabled. 12.08.12 10:05:21,443 ReportCrash: Saved crash report for installd[22188] version ???
