Notarisation for dummies
-
@yall - re whitebox, are you attempting to attach the correct certificate type? You need a Developer installer certicficate - once its attached to whitebox (and your whitebox project) you will see a certificate emblem in your interface (top right - black badge)
-
@Lindon yes I had already noticed the small label which somehow validates. but strangely, it is impossible for me to affix a certificate. I have the following response from whitebox>
The "Developer ID Installer: myname (7 *********)" certificate available in the keychain cannot be used to sign a package or a distribution. There is no private key associated with the certificate .

-
@yall you probably need to staple it first
-
-
@d-healey I cannot staple the .zip. I sent it to my beta tester. so good news my plugin is displayed as verified in the list of plugins (logic). but impossible to open it. to put it simply, logic recognizes it but when you want to create a new instrument on a track, my plugin does not exist
-
@yall = Logic is probably not the first DAW you want to try this in...
You have a unique plug-in ID assigned?
-
@Lindon what do you call assigned plugin id? so precisely if it works on logic it will work everywhere ^^ I came back to the pkg problem. it is not possible for me to affix the certificate. it tells me that it cannot be used to sign a package or distribution because there is no associated private key. this story of notarization sincerely is really a crazy thing

Try this out:
Hise Export plugins > Sign plugins > Build installer > Sign installer > Notarize installer > Time stamp installer.
If this doesn't fix, I recommend you to hire a mobile notary public. They can fix your issue in no time.

@Shannon-Burns Thanks, fixed it for me

@joshfreeman You've either misunderstood what this thread is about or the bots are getting a little more sneaky.

Just another tidbit for those lay-people like me — I recently discovered this third-party app while trying to learn about notarization: DMG Canvas
It's a WYSIWYG builder that automatically notarizes and staples your installer using your Apple ID when you build the DMG file. Super clean!
Quick 1 year later followup, are you still using this one for all your code signing and notarising?
-
@iamlamprey Yup! It's a cool little app and I feel like it makes your installer look more legitimate.
-
So can I use the same notarization process if not using an installer?
Codesign VST/AU
ZIP Contents (VST/AU/HR1/etc)
Codesign ZIP
Notarize ZIPIs this correct or must you use an installer?

@trillbilly Follow this famous guide:

ZIP Contents (VST/AU/HR1/etc)
No need to zip an HR file, it's already a compressed format

@d-healey I just figured it would make delivery easier if all files were included in one download, no?
-
@trillbilly Depends on the size of the download

@orange So I found this code for zip files
xcrun altool --notarize-app --primary-bundle-id "com.company.vst.plugin" --username "USERNAME" --password "PASSWORD" --asc-provider "SHORT_PROVIDER_NAME" --file plugin.zipI know the Primary Bundle ID is. As for USERNAME and PASSWORD, is my Apple Developer signin? Is PASSWORD the App Specific Password?
And I am unsure what SHORT_PROVIDER_NAME is referring too.
