      Official docs say you need xcode 10 or later.

        @d-healey @Lindon i just installed xcode 10. i received an email from apple saying that the notarization was not accepted. but I think I know why, the signature of the plugin, in the end, is not good. however when I do it nothing happens on the terminal. basically I can't sign. however on a previous manipulation, he told me that the plugin was already signed but probably not correctly. a little help would be welcome ^^

            @d-healey I started again from the beginning so the first step would be to sign the plugin or code it, is that right? with this line>
            codesign -s "Developer application ID: my name (my number id)" "/Users/Desktop/your.component" --timestamp
            already for me it does not work

              Codesign the plugin
              Package the plugin
              Codesign the package
              Notarize the package

              for me it does not work

              What error do you get?

                @d-healey no error because nothing happens that is the problem. I have checked multiple times to see if I was wrong, but I do not think so.

                      Here are my precise steps for signing. (The notarization fails because I think my plugin is not signed correctly you will understand later)

                      Step 0> plugin export wise> myplugin.component
                      Step 1> I place the myplugin on the desktop
                      Step 3> I open Keychain and I create a certificate request from a competent authority. I save "CertificateSigningRequest.certSigningRequest" on my desktop.
                      Step 4> I log into my apple developer space and create a Developer ID Application certificate, so I import the "CertificateSigningRequest.certSigningRequest" file.
                      I create a certificates also a pkg distribution certificate…;
                      Step 5> I download the certificates and install them, I see them appear in Keychain

                      Step 6> I want to sign my myplugin.component so I proceed this way from the terminal>
                      Step 6.1 codesign -s "Developer ID Application: myname (mycode)" "/Users/macmini/Desktop/myplugin.component" --timestamp

                                > here nothing is happening in particular so I decide to check to start step 6.1 again. the terminal tells me that the myplugin.component. is already signed
                      

                      Step7> I really want to be sure that myplugin.component is signed so this time, from the terminal, I enter this formula>
                      codesign -vvv /Users/macmini/Desktop/myplugin.component
                      I get this>. /Users/macmini/Desktop/myplugin.component: valid on disk
                      /Users/macmini/Desktop/myplugin.component: does not satisfy its designated Requirement

                                  This sentence "does not satisfy its designated Requirement" appeals to me but I try anyway (you never know ^^)
                      

                      Step 8> I create a raw PKG or I integrate myplugin.component and then I transform it into a distribution. I affix the certificate from the "project" tab.
                      Step 9> I therefore want to sign my PKG and for that I use the following formula from the terminal>
                      codesign -s "Developer ID Application: myname (mycode)" "/Users/macmini/Desktop/myplugin.pkg" --timestamp

                      Step 10: I check by entering the same command again. The terminal tells me myplugin.pkg is already signed (same step as 6.1)

                             Again I really want to be sure so I enter this command>
                                 codesign -vvv /Users/macmini/Desktop/myplugin.pkg
                                I get exactly the same as in step 7. "valid on disk" and "does not meet its designated requirement"
                      

                      Step 11> I'm trying to be a notarize but I already know the result…. I am using this command

                          xcrun altool --notarize-app -f "/Users/macmini/Desktop/myplugin.pkg" --primary-bundle-id en.myname.pkg.myplugin --username "my email address" --password "my password altool pass "
                      

                      Step 12> I drink a coffee
                      Step 13> I wash my cup of coffee!
                      Step 14> I receive an email from apple (I'm happy, I have friends ^^). In this mail I get this> the Mac software you downloaded has not been notarized, please check the notarization log with Xcode or altool, fix the issues it presents and download your software again.

                      I think concretely that the problem comes from the signature of the component and the pkg.

                      I could not make videos my mac paddles too much

                      My Mac config> High Sierra 10.13.6. and x code 10.1

                        steps 3,4 and 5 are pretty redundant I think - I never do these.

                          @Lindon Are there any steps that I missed or did I get the wrong certificates? there is nothing to modify in the certificates? I'm almost there, I'm only missing this phase ^^

                            @yall you dont need any certificates to codesign your plugins.

                            You need a Developer install certificate for whitebox packages to allow the install to happen correctly.

                              @yall said in Notarisation for dummies:

                              codesign -s "Developer ID Application: myname (mycode)" "/Users/macmini/Desktop/myplugin.component" --timestamp

                              this looks slightly odd from my perspective:

                              codesign -s "Developer ID Application: myname (mycode)" "/Users/macmini/Desktop/myplugin.component" --timestamp

                              I always uses a specific user so not "/Users/macmini/Desktop"

                              but "/Desktop" etc..

                                Pretty sure you do. But you only need to install it into the keyring once and then never touch it again.

                                    I just tried something. I have re-exported a new plugin and followed my steps. the plugin is now signed, the pkg too. but the notarization failed again.

                                      What error?

                                        @d-healey I cannot record the screen in video with my mac I do not have video editing software here.
                                        I have no error in the terminal but simply an email from apple telling me, your application has not been notarized.

                                        I went back to the pakage application (whitebox) to affix the certificate to try, but it said to me: There is no private key associated with the certificate.
                                        frankly I really don't understand anything and it's not that simple
