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 wrote up a script based on Benoît's answer that does the work of patching the .app: https://gist.github.com/kainjow/8059407

The code:

#!/usr/bin/env ruby

# Copies missing Info.plist files for a .app's Qt frameworks installed
# from macdeployqt. Without the plists, 'codesign' fails on 10.9 with
# "bundle format unrecognized, invalid, or unsuitable".
#
# Example usage:
# ruby macdeployqt_fix_frameworks.rb /Users/me/Qt5.2.0/5.2.0/clang_64/ MyProgram.app

require 'fileutils'

qtdir = ARGV.shift

abort "Missing args." if !qtdir || !dotapp
abort "\"#{qtdir}\" invalid" if !File.exists?(qtdir) || !File.directory?(qtdir)

frameworksDir = File.join(dotapp, 'Contents', 'Frameworks')
Dir.foreach(frameworksDir) do |framework|
next if !framework.match(/^Qt.*.framework$/)
fullPath = File.join(frameworksDir, framework)

next if File.exists?(destPlist)
srcPlist = File.join(qtdir, 'lib', framework, 'Contents', 'Info.plist')
abort "Source plist not found: \"#{srcPlist}\"" if !File.exists?(srcPlist)
FileUtils.cp(srcPlist, destPlist)
