Signed .mpkg file in Mac OS X 10.9.5 appears unsigned when installing in Mac OS X 10.10.1

822 views Asked by At

I have an myFile.mpkg file and signed it in Mac OS X 10.9.5 using the command line utility productsign and the following command:

productsign --sign "Developer ID Installer: MyDeveloperInstallerId" myFile.mpkg 
mySignedFile.mpkg

The output when I ran the command is the following:

productsign: preparing "myFile.mpkg" for signing...
productsign: Using timestamp authority for signature
productsign: Wrote signed product archive to mySignedFile.mpkg

Then in order to verify that my file is signed I ran the command:

pkgutil --check-signature mySignedFile.mpkg

and the output was:

Package "mySignedFile.mpkg":
Status: signed by a certificate trusted by Mac OS X
Certificate Chain: etc...

Nevertheless when I tried to install my signed file to a Mac OS X 10.10.1 the following message appeared:

 mySignedFile.mpkg can't be opened because the identity of the developer cannot be 
 confirmed

Any idea why is this happening? Is there anything wrong in the signing process?

[UPDATE]

Found this post

and run the following command:

spctl -a -t exec -vv mySignedFile.mpkg

the output was:

mySignedFile.mpkg: rejected
source=obsolete resource envelope

which means that my package will be rejected by Gatekeeper on 10.9.5 (OSX Mavericks) /10.10 (OSX Yosemite) or above.

I also checked the version of the signature and found something strange:

codesign -dvvv mySignedFile.mpkg

Executable=mySignedFile.mpkg/Contents/distribution.dist

Info.plist instead of having entries = a number equals to not bound.
