Unable to find code sign option in code for OSX Mountain LIon

Question

Trying to codesign an application for compatability with Gatekeeper introduced in OSX 10.8

Following the instructions in https://developer.apple.com/resources/developer-id/Developer-ID-Tutorial.pdf

• Create a Developer Account and waited for confirmation
• Created and exported developer certificates from Xcode 4.4
• Created a new OSX/Cocoa Application and set Product Name and Company Identifier field to give correct Bundle Identifier

Then on page 9 of the pdf the section Code Signing with a Developer ID Certificate tells me to go to build settings, and search for “code signing” to show only code signing settings.

But I see no code signing options,

What am I missing ?

Answer 1

Select your target in Xcode and search for "Code Signing Identity" (CODE_SIGN_IDENTITY), and put "Developer ID Application".

You can also manually sign an application in the Terminal:

codesign -f -s "Developer ID Application" MyApp.app

You can verify if your application is correctly signed:

codesign -vvv MyApp.app
