Apple team ID, code sign but ask for security to open the plugin

[Oli Ullmann]

@Yannrog
I'm not familiar with the new notary tool. I use the commands I showed you above:

// AU Component (Sign)
codesign -s "Developer ID Application: YOUR NAME (YOUR CODE)" "/Users/YOUR_USERNAME/Desktop/YOUR_PLUGIN.component" --timestamp

// VST3 (Sign)
codesign -s "Developer ID Application: YOUR NAME (YOUR CODE)" "/Users/YOUR_USERNAME/Desktop/YOUR_PLUGIN.vst3" --timestamp

// Installer (Sign)
codesign --deep --force --options runtime --sign "Developer ID Application: YOUR NAME (YOUR CODE)" "/Users/YOUR_USERNAME/Desktop/YOUR_INSTALLER.pkg"

// Installer (Notarization)
xcrun notarytool submit --apple-id "YOUR_MAIL_ADRESS" --password "YOUR_PASSWORD"  --team-id "YOUR_CODE" --wait "/Users/YOUR_USERNAME/Desktop/YOUR_INSTALLER.pkg"

// Installer (Staple)
xcrun stapler staple "/Users/YOUR_USERNAME/Desktop/YOUR_INSTALLER.pkg"

First, as mentioned, you'll need to remove the signature using this:

codesign --remove-signature "/Users/YOU_USERNAME/Desktop/YOUR_PLUG-IN.vst3"
codesign --remove-signature "/Users/YOU_USERNAME/Desktop/YOUR_PLUG-IN.component"

@Oli-Ullmann Ok , I didn't know about code signing directly from the CLI Thank you so much.
Sorry, this is already the new notary tool. This is the new command apple recommend with “xcrun notarytool submitt“.

[Yannrog]

@Oli-Ullmann It seems to work. I have status accepted. God bless you.

@Oli-Ullmann @David-Healey

What is the command to verify if it is code signed ? thank you

[David Healey]

@Yannrog Can't remember, but there's some useful apps here that will give you the info https://forum.hise.audio/topic/14860/couple-of-handy-free-mac-apps-for-checking-code-signs-and-notarisation

@Oli-Ullmann I shouldn't need to remove the old signature prior to signing again.
The new codesign process warns you about the existing signature and automatically replaces it.

[Yannrog]

@David-Healey works well

@ustk
What do you mean by “new codesign process”? The new notary tool?

[ustk]

@Oli-Ullmann no I just mean when you codesign again, the previous signature should be replaced. That's what I do with no issues.

@Oli-Ullmann

VST and AU:

Running: codesign --deep --force --timestamp --options runtime --sign "Developer ID Application: XXXXXXXXXXX" "/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components/MyPlugin.component" --verbose

/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components/MyPlugin.component: replacing existing signature
/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components/MyPlugin.component: signed bundle with Mach-O universal (x86_64 arm64) [com.studio427audio.myplugin]

And AAX:

Warning! This binary has an invalid existing platform digital signature.
  This situation could happen if you wrapped a binary that was already signed.
  Regardless, a new signature will be created now, using your specified credentials.

@ustk
I see. Your command looks a little different from mine. I'll try it next time. Maybe it'll work for me then, too. Thanks a lot! :-)

@Oli-Ullmann The --force flag overwrites any existing signature.
