cefclient.app: code object is not signed at all

[kyr0]

Hi all,

I just wanted to inform you about a code signing issue with Xcode on OS X and it's solution.
Trying to activate code signing for "cefclient" with the default Xcode project exactly generated by cmake like explained in CMakeLists.txt: "cmake -G "Xcode" -DPROJECT_ARCH="x86_64" ..":

Results in:

> [...] cefclient.app: replacing existing signature
> [...] cefclient.app: code object is not signed at all
> [...] In subcomponent: [...]cefclient Helper.app

ERROR: Command /usr/bin/codesign failed with exit code 1

To resolve this issue, you have to dig into codesign for hours... until you find a very obvious config option, you have to set </sarcasm>:

Doing so will make the codesign work.

To improve the developer experience: Could we please...

A) Document this in CMakeLists.txt or any other obvious place and/or
B) Include the flag in the project file generated by default? (best option in my eyes)

That would be awesome

Anyway, this is a great project. Thank you!!

Thanks and best,
Aron

Somewhere there should be a "Build Settings" tab for your target. Try adding the "--deep" flag to the existing "Other Code Signing Flags" configuration.

Aron, thank you very much for documenting this.
