This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com I work at a company that develops Unix based command line programs. In Linux we distribute this software through signed RPMs. Our software also works on OS X however our users need to build from source. I am currently looking into using PackageMaker to install these compiled command line programs. Everything seems to be working fine except for the last step. I am trying to digitally sign the installer similarly to how we sign RPMs on Linux machines. We have a code signing certificate that has been issued by GoDaddy.com. In the "Configuration" tab under the "Distribution" section I select the Certificate option and select our certificate. Then I build and run in the installer. Once the installer has launched I see a little certificate icon in the upper right hand corner. I click it and it tells me that "This certificate is valid". I proceed with the install and I get to the point where it ask for the admin password and begins the install. At that point I get an error stating that "There were errors with the installation. You may want to try installing again." I don't get these errors when the installer has not been signed, the installation finishes properly. This led me to believe that I hadn't installed my certificate correct. So I started to play around with codesign. That allowed me to sign our executable and then I verified it on another Mac. The only other info that might help (not sure) is that since this is a UNIX like application is we install to the /usr directory instead of the normal Applications directory like most Mac apps do. Is there anyway I can see an error code or something that might give me more insight into why this is failing? Thanks for any help. smime.p7s
