When building I get this warning, the app seems to build ok
Any idea about it?
Recent thread about this:
Yeah, there’s a file in there with some meta data (most likely meta data created by Apple) that Apple’s code sign doesn’t like.
If you use App Wrapper 4 , it will strip all of that meta data (and hidden files) when it code signs the application.
If you don’t want to use App Wrapper 4 for whatever reason, I also made a freeware application Permissions Reset 2 which you can drop the containing folder of your project and related files into, and then blast the permissions and meta data. *1
*1 Permissions Reset 2 doesn’t currently remove the new “com.apple.macl” meta data added by Big Sur as Apple have worked hard to prevent it from being removed.
I tried with the terminal
xattr -rc stall.app
on de cd of the build app, but get an error:
File “/usr/bin/xattr-2.7”, line 7, in
from pkg_resources import load_entry_point
ImportError: No module named pkg_resources
I’ve buid dozens times this app and that has begin with r2.1, no one is having a similar problem?
You must do xattr before codsign. And everybody already has that in the codesign/notarise process:
result = doShellCommand("xattr -rc " + appPath)
Please what/where is the “codesign/notarise process”?

The 2021r2.1 IDE currently does an ad-hoc codesign after all of the build steps have been completed (assuming you haven’t signed it yourself in one of your post-build steps). It should also have removed the things that would have caused that error however.
@Enric_Herrera Could you verify what version of the IDE you are using?
Using 2021 r2.1
MacOS 10.14.6
I tried (if I understood well) what Beatrix suggested:
Script1:
Var result As String
Var appPath As String = App.ExecutableFile.NativePath
result = doShellCommand("xattr -rc " + appPath)
But get the error:
what do you mean ???
Just reported again
Your appPath is not correct:
dim appPath as string = currentBuildLocation + "/" + shellEncode(currentBuildAppName)
if right(appPath, 4) <> ".app" then appPath = appPath + ".app"
result = doShellCommand("/usr/bin/touch -acm " + appPath)
result = doShellCommand("xattr -rc " + appPath)
If result <> "" then print result
Function shellEncode( inValue as string ) as string
Dim rvalue as string = replaceAll( inValue, " ", "\ " )
rvalue = replaceAll( rvalue, "&", "\&" )
rvalue = replaceAll( rvalue, "-", "\-" )
rvalue = replaceAll( rvalue, "(", "\(" )
rvalue = replaceAll( rvalue, ")", "\)" )
return rvalue
End Function
Excuse me Beatrix, shoould I put the funtion on a specific place (I put in App)
So, the script looks like:
dim appPath as string = currentBuildLocation + "/" + shellEncode(currentBuildAppName)
if right(appPath, 4) <> ".app" then appPath = appPath + ".app"
var result as string = doShellCommand("/usr/bin/touch -acm " + appPath)
result = doShellCommand("xattr -rc " + appPath)
If result <> "" then print result
And the function
Public Function shellEncode(inValue as string) As String
Dim rvalue as string = replaceAll( inValue, " ", "\ " )
rvalue = replaceAll( rvalue, "&", "\&" )
rvalue = replaceAll( rvalue, "-", "\-" )
rvalue = replaceAll( rvalue, "(", "\(" )
rvalue = replaceAll( rvalue, ")", "\)" )
return rvalue
End Function
But get:
Should I define currentBuildLocation ?
Just copy the entire thing she posted (including the function definition) and paste into your build step.
That was the first thing I did but get:
Please just copy the code I posted AS IS into a build script. The “public” declaration isn’t needed.
I promise I did
But compiling error line 4
Should the “result” be defined ? I also tried adding var result as string but not working
If I have:
Architecture: Any, I get a compiler error
if Architecture: ARM, then the first one
Yes. The code needs to be syntactically correct, so make sure you declare result before it is used.
Its always funny when you spot your own code because of the way you write it… lol…
