Export tool

[LeeC]

I see an error in the console mentioning that

Packaging/darwin/packages-template.pkgproj no file exists

Does anybody know where I can get a copy of this file?

@DanH said in Export tool:

@LeeC Spaces in the notarization file path aren't allowed

Just for clarification, spaces are "allowed" but the export tool has a bug with spaces on a Mac. It will be fixed when I do the next round of updates. If you want to see the complete list of known bugs you can check the github issues :)

[d.healey]

@LeeC That file is created internally by the export tool. Do you have a space in your project path?

[LeeC]

@d-healey Yep 2 spaces to be exact!
I'll remove them and retry... thanks

[LeeC]

@d-healey That worked thank you.
Managed to get all the way through to Notorization and saw:

Status Message: Package Approved

It completed and I did see a quick prompt from HISE Exporter saying that 'Notarization failed' but when I check in the 'Darwin' folder in my project folder I see a 'PluginName signed.pkg'.

Is there a quick way to check if this file is indeed Notorized?

Cheers

@d-healey Perfect and apologies for not checking the bug board
Man, I have to say that this is an insanely useful tool and you've solved a very sticky pain point for a lot of us.
Just EPIC!
Thanks again

I'm having a bit of trouble with getting a signed and notarized installer to work on Mac High Sierra.

I've successfully built an un-signed and un-notarized installer, but when I try notarized one I keep getting this error?

I left it for 3 hours last night and then tried another 2 attempts at over an hour each but the circle keeps spinning.

I made sure there are no spaces or capital L's in the file path or project name but still no joy.

Also made my 2 certificates and put them in keychain. Any idea what could be wrong?

These are the 2 certificates I made...

[d.healey]

@SteveRiggs Any spaces in your project path?

[SteveRiggs]

@d-healey Not that I can spot. Are there any other characters in the file path that could be affecting it?

[d.healey]

I can't see anything unusual there. The error your getting is coming from the notarization status check, I wonder if the notarization server was down when you were trying to notarize. You can always check the status here btw - https://developer.apple.com/system-status/

Give it another try, if it doesn't work send me the log file.

[SteveRiggs]

@d-healey Thanks mate. Just checked and it's saying it's available. I'll save the link and try another build now...

[SteveRiggs]

@d-healey Sorry for all the questions...

It failed with the same error again. I'll PM the log file now...

Other than the 2 certificates I made, do I need to make an Identifier App ID as well? Or are there any other things I need that could be stopping it from notarizing if I missed something on the developer site?

[d.healey]

@SteveRiggs If I remember correctly you need to make an app specific password and enter it in the settings page.

[SteveRiggs]

@d-healey I did do that before when I first tried the exporter app. Do I need to do that every time? I think it's saved from the first time

[SteveRiggs]

@d-healey I just made a fresh app specific password and I'm trying an installer build with that. Still getting the same red error though

[SteveRiggs]

@d-healey I may have found the cause... My certificate had no private key attached. Just started over and re added them to keychain so I'll try another build.....

[d.healey]

Just had a look at your log file, think this might be the problem
xcrun: error: unable to find utility "altool", not a developer tool or in PATH

I have no idea what it means, I thought altool was a built in thing. Hopefully some MacOS expert can chip in.

[d.healey]

Oh also this Could not find appropriate signing identity for “Developer ID Installer:

You need to put your full ID the team ID box. So it will be something like YOUR NAME (123456) I think you've only put the number. In the next release these will go in two separate boxes instead of one.

@SteveRiggs - you have XCode 10 installed right?
