Notarisation for dummies

[DanH]

Hi guys, experiencing a really weird issue with Terminal when notarising. Codesigning all fine btw.

so I go to notarise and Terminal says it can't find my file, but when it reads back the file's location there's a 'U201c' in front of my path. So now the path is like:

NSLocalizedFailureReason = "The file '\U201cUsers/UnsignedPlugins/myplugin\n\nxcrun altool --notarize-app --primary-bundle-id com.me.HPRE --username me@mail.com --password **hidden value** --file \U201cUsers/UnsignedPlugins/installer.pkg' cannot be found.";

I'm so baffled! Worked fine a couple of days ago. Anyone come across this?

@DanH Check the file path with \ or / question :) macOS uses / for folders

[DanH]

@orange how do I do that?

[orange]

@DanH What is the location of your pkg installer?

[DanH]

@orange Users/UnsignedPlugins/Installer.pkg

@DanH I posted a script on Patreon a few weeks ago that will do the notarizing for you.

@orange For example if the file location is:

Volumes > Folder A > Signed Installers > MyInstaller_v1.1.0.pkg

Then the file path will be this on macOS:

"/Volumes/Folder A/Signed Installers/MyInstaller_v1.1.0.pkg"

But you've used also \ which shouldn't be used here

I haven't, it's just appeared in the error. The path and the command is fine. I've been using it for a year. I think my Terminal is messed up. I just got this error:
