It is possible that your connection to the world is fine, but a hop in the chain to Apple’s time stamping services is broken or really slow. Last week it was failing for me.
You’d have to check with Xojo. I personally use App Wrapper to code sign (and do other things) during debug builds via a build script).
40 seconds… That is a long time. If you don’t mind, at some point (no rush), after you’ve processed with App Wrapper, can you select “Contact Ohanaware” from the Help menu and send me all the details, I’d love to take a peek into why it takes that long.
Could be a whole bunch of things under the hood that causing the slow down, or might just be marketing…
