Standalone "[app] Is Damaged and Can't Be Opened. You Should Move It To The Trash” and codesign "already signed" FIXED!!

Gianclgar's icon

In order to distribute your Standalone app properly you have to "codesign" it so Apple will trust it.
Follow the steps on this video: https://cycling74.com/tutorials/advanced-max-standalones-part-5

If when using the codesigning app it says "already signed", use this command:

codesign --remove-signature [drag app/app directory]

and then try codesigning again.

I've been weeks struggling with this, hope it helps!

Feel free to ask any questions

Can anyone explain what the codesign message (after the -v prompt with an app) "code has no resources but signature indicates they must be there"? Thanks!
