| Been working for me fine and I did one just this week.
One thing you can try - go grab something called ‘RB Checker Lite’. Drag and drop the app on that and see what it tells you - that’s quite good at finding signing errors and if there is one, it may give you a hint what’s going wrong.
and it’s not Apple that’s blocking it by the way - it’s just Gatekeeper warning your users who are, fortunately, smart enough to have Gatekeeper turned on.
I just posted a signed version of my app as an update and numerous users report Apple wants to block it because I am not an identified developer. But I signed it as directed by Apple and all within XCode. I found the details at https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/IDEs/Conceptual/AppDistributionGuide/DistributingApplicationsOutside/DistributingApplicationsOutside.htmlwith steps: 1. In project settings, sign with Developer ID identity (verifyed as valid and current in keychain and in XCode) and insure unique bundle ID 2. Create an Archive of the application 3. In organizer validate the signing for distribution outside the app store - reponse is valid 4. In organized export as application to be distributed outside the app store. I select team and the processes and it exports 5. Post that version, but whenmpeople download it reports the developer cannot be identified Is there any hope to distribute outside the app store? ------------ John Nairn
