I’m trying to access iCloud from a macOS app. I tried to obtain a certificate and have it notarized, but an error occurred when building the app and I was unable to build it. Looking at the error message, it seems that a Developer ID certificate is required, but is Developer ID certification required to get notarized?
I’m part of the development team at my company, my role is App Manager, and I have a certificate in “Mac Development”.
Yes, the “Developer ID Application” certificate is required. Please make sure you have downloaded it from developer.apple.com and installed it on your Mac (Keychain). For example:
Also, make sure to type (or paste) the full certificate string into Build Settings > macOS > Sign > Developer ID. In my case it would be (without the quotes):
“Developer ID Application: Francisco Javier Rodriguez Menendez (BW7PU32485)”
Thank you for reply @Javier_Menendez
Thanks for the clear explanation with pictures.
I only had the “Mac Developement” certificate. I am an App Manager and cannot obtain a Developer ID Certification. I will ask my Account Holder to obtain a Developer ID Certification referencing my CSR.
Your advice helps me move forward a step further. Thank you.
