Codesign fail after universal

[StephenKe]

Modified Plist lead to fail when use electron-osx-sign to Codesign universal app: invalid Info.plist (plist or signature have been modified)

Error: Command failed: codesign --verify --deep --verbose=2 ./bst3.app

}

After I removed the following code.It worked.

        const plistFiles = x64Files.filter((f) => f.type === file_utils_1.AppFileType.INFO_PLIST);
        for (const plistFile of plistFiles) {
            const x64PlistPath = path.resolve(opts.x64AppPath, plistFile.relativePath);
            const arm64PlistPath = path.resolve(opts.arm64AppPath, plistFile.relativePath);
            const _a = plist.parse(await fs.readFile(x64PlistPath, 'utf8')), { ElectronAsarIntegrity: x64Integrity } = _a, x64Plist = __rest(_a, ["ElectronAsarIntegrity"]);
            const _b = plist.parse(await fs.readFile(arm64PlistPath, 'utf8')), { ElectronAsarIntegrity: arm64Integrity } = _b, arm64Plist = __rest(_b, ["ElectronAsarIntegrity"]);
            if (JSON.stringify(x64Plist) !== JSON.stringify(arm64Plist)) {
                throw new Error(`Expected all Info.plist files to be identical when ignoring integrity when creating a universal build but "${plistFile.relativePath}" was not`);
            }
            const mergedPlist = Object.assign(Object.assign({}, x64Plist), { ElectronAsarIntegrity: generatedIntegrity });
            await fs.writeFile(path.resolve(tmpApp, plistFile.relativePath), plist.build(mergedPlist));
        }

Do you sign the x64/arm64 bundles before merging them?

Do you sign the x64/arm64 bundles before merging them?

Yes.My x64/arm64 app build on electron-builder and it can not skip codesign.

[indutny-signal]

Usually electron-builder builds two separate copies of x64/arm64 builds before merging them and they are not signed unlike regular arm64/x64 builds.

[StephenKe]

Em...My project includes both electron-builder and @electron-universal.Have any good idea to universal app after electron-builder builded?(respect~)

[indutny-signal]

We just use universal arch here: https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Desktop/blob/development/package.json#L339-L341

[StephenKe]

I tried and it went wrong: We use zoom-electron-sdk + [email protected] + [email protected]. universal arch can not match zoom-electron-sdk due to [email protected] have no --arch=universal.So I use electron-builder to build x64/arm64 on [email protected] --arch=x64/arm64.And use @electron-universal to universal x64/arm64 manually.

[indutny-signal]

Ah, interesting. So you build two separate builds and then merge them with the help of universal. In this case, you should try merging them before signing and sign the universal binary separately.

[StephenKe]

'you should try merging them before signing'. That's the problem: It seems like electron-builder not provided a configuration to skip signing process.

[indutny-signal]

I see. I suggest we move over to electron-builder issues with regards to this. There has to be a way to avoid signing in such situations, but surely it has nothing to do with @electron/universal!

Good idea ^ 0 ^ Already submit an issue to electron-builder.

[StephenKe]

I make it work like this:

1. electron-builder build x64/arm64
2. remove x64/arm64 all _CodeSignature/CodeResources in Contents/**
3. remove mergedPlist code in electron-universal
4. add code in electron-universal Don’t lipo binaries that are already a universal file or the same arch.Don’t lipo binaries add zoom-electron-sdk relevant file.
5. run electron-universal and it work

[StephenKe]

If it possible that electron-universal remove _CodeSignature before merge? @indutny-signal
