pprefontaine Posted August 13, 2014 Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 Hello; We’re preparing ourselves to make sure all our software vendors will have updated binaries for the new signing requirements in the forthcoming update to OS X Mavericks, version 10.9.5. Quote from tech note TN2206: Beginning with OS X version 10.9.5, there will be changes in how OS X recognizes signed apps. Version 1 signatures created with OS X versions prior to Mavericks will no longer be recognized by Gatekeeper and are considered obsolete. Important: For your apps to run on updated versions of OS X they must be signed on OS X version 10.9 or later and thus have a version 2 signature. Following the instructions from the tech note on using spctl, testing the Retrospect 10.5.0 (145) client on OS X 10.9.4 yielded not the error we’ve seen for most other apps that need a new signature (and that’s referenced in the tech not), but this one : /Applications/Retrospect/Retrospect.app: a sealed resource is missing or invalid Will there soon be updated server and — especially — client binaries that we can upgrade to before 10.9.5 is available? Under no circumstances will we reduce our safety by disabling GateKeeper. Thanks! Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maser Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 Did you try Retrospect 11.0.1? I didn't get anything similar from that version if I run "spctl -a Retrospect.app" - Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pprefontaine Posted August 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 Did you try Retrospect 11.0.1? I didn't get anything similar from that version if I run "spctl -a Retrospect.app" Not yet — I imagine that means it’s a free upgrade from 10.5 with software maintenance? Would you be willing to post the output of the command with the options from the Tech Note? spctl -a -t exec -vv Retrospect.app Thanks!

Maser Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 And, yes, 11.0 should be a free upgrade with software maintenance (AFAIK...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pprefontaine Posted August 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 Thanks for all your responses, Maser, very much appreciated. And, yes, 11.0 should be a free upgrade with software maintenance (AFAIK...) Hmm, we didn’t renew our software maintenance because version 10.5 fully supported OS X 10.9, and we’ve only finally migrated to Mavericks a month ago (and plan to stay on it for the next year). So I’m back to my original problem : needing Retrospect to produce compatibly-signed binaries available for version 10.5 (no code changes, only a new signature), so that it’s stays fully compatible with OS X 10.9. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
