Sign a Framework for OSX 10.9

Question

After using macdeployqt I sign my application to avoid Gatekeeper problems.

I can use codesign on all the frameworks and everything inside

Answer 1

I use this script to correct the QT 4.8 frameworks before codesigning. Hope this helps. It took me and a coworker about 3-4 days to figure this out (this was before the blog post by QT).

# we need to massage qt frameworks so they get codesigned by the new codesign
# more information about this $#@$!@# piece of $@#$@$!

QT_LIB_DIR=$(qmake -query QT_INSTALL_LIBS)
for i in $(find "$APP/Contents/Frameworks/" -name Qt\*.framework); do
   FW_NAME=$(basename "$i")
   FW_SHORTNAME=$(basename -s ".framework" "$i")
   mv "$i/Resources" "$i/Versions/4"
   ln -s Versions/Current/Resources "$i/"
   ln -s Versions/Current/${FW_SHORTNAME} "$i/${FW_SHORTNAME}"
   ln -s 4 "$i/Versions/Current"
   cp "${QT_LIB_DIR}/${FW_NAME}/Contents/Info.plist" "$i/Resources"
   chmod u+w "$i/Resources/Info.plist"
   # now comes the real magic, we have to add CFBundleIdentifier and CFBundleVersion to the Info.plist
   awk "/<\/dict>/{print \"CFBundleIdentifier\norg.qt-project.${FW_SHORTNAME}\"}1" "$i/Resources/Info.plist" > "$i/Resources/Info.plist.tmp"
   mv "$i/Resources/Info.plist.tmp" "$i/Resources/Info.plist"
   awk '/<\/dict>/{print "CFBundleVersion\n4.8"}1' "$i/Resources/Info.plist" > "$i/Resources/Info.plist.tmp"
   mv "$i/Resources/Info.plist.tmp" "$i/Resources/Info.plist"
done
