Can a shell scriot (.command file) be signed so that Gatekeep will let it pass somehow?
We’ve got an uninstall script that we include in our flat package installers, which are signed, and the uninstall script that is installed in our Applications sub-folder has no problems with Gatekeeer, I assume because it was installed from within the signed installer package.
However, we would like to *also* include the sript in the .dmg we distribute, alongside the installer package, so users can perform the uninstall from the disk image OR from the actual install location. Unfortunately, for that stand-alone copy of the script, Gatekeeper requires that the user know about and use the control-click-and-Open procedure in order to be able to run the script, since it is not signed.
I have looked all over and cannot find any way to apply a signature to a simple shell script. Is this possible? If so, how?
If it is not possible, I suppose we’ll just live with them having to use that control-click-and-Open method for this copy of the script. After all, there is a copy of the script in the install folder, and it runs with a simple double-click. So it’s not like they’re locked out. It’s just a convenience.
Thanks,
Howard
