Thanks for the suggestions everyone. On Linux with GNU cp, -r and -R are equivalent so I never thought to check that.

cp -R works, so now I need to figure out what Python's distutils.file_util.copy_file is missing I suppose, as that's where my build is breaking - or just replace the call. Though I'm still wondering what changed between 10.9 and 10.10 in codesign to make it get tripped up by this.

You most likely need “$ cp -pR”. The capital “R” is for recursive copy and the “p” flag is for preserving file dates, permissions, extended attributes and more (check "man cp").

Hi all,

On OS X 10.10 Preview 5, copying an app bundle on the command line (with something like cp -r) results in an app bundle copy that isn't recognized as an app bundle. This was not the case on previous OS versions.

Trying to codesign such a copy results in an errror stating:

"bundle format unrecognized, invalid, or unsuitable"

A diff shows no differences between the two app bundle directories, nor are there any extended attributes on any files in either app bundle that xattr can see. Moving a bundle with mv does not invalidate a bundle, nor does copying via Finder, so there seems to be some sort of magic going on with Finder that normal command line tools are not capable of.

Has anyone else ran into this? Any idea what needs to be done to the copy to make it a valid bundle? Is this a bug in Yosemite?

Take care,

-Dan
