All of a Sudden

[NewsArchive]

All of a sudden my code signing gets an error 1. I had been messing around
in the script editor but AFAIK didn't mess with code signing.

I commented out the first files but the first uncommented file gets the same
error: ode signing process error 1.

Other SB apps are fine.

Tell me it's something simple. <G>

Thanks!

Hi Lynn,

Try clicking the SAVE button in the script again before you compile when
you get that error.

I have seen that resolve it (I'm not sure if the OS or maybe the AV is
getting in the way, but that does seem to fix it here).

If clicking SAVE "fixed" it then it was definitely luck <g>.

Actually I was suspecting our favorite anti-virus of having the file locked
perhaps<g>...

I compile the script externally (driving it from Build Automator).

I delete the executable from the last compile first (that way if the
compile fails then B/A won't run the old compile result afterwards).

But now and again I will get the error 1.

It seems that I never have to do anything but switch back to the script,
click save and then switch back to B/A and compile again ... and it works
fine.

But it might also have worked if you had pulled your left ear three times
and howled at the moonshine <g>

Well THERE'S your problem. You DRINK it, not howl at it!<g>

You might howl at the MOON afterwards but that's different!

Hi Charles,

The main problem is that Authenticode signing modifies the binary contents
of an existing application file. To make it even worse (for the stupid <g>
antivirus, anti-spyware and firewall apps), the Authenticode tool collects
information, sends a hash to a timestamp server on the world wide web, and
receives back information. To "protect" you, sometimes (and not always) the
security software masterpiece simply blocks that action. But you never know
when and why.

And sometimes it's even a combination of your own binary file and
code-signing: the protection software scans your app and a few bytes look a
bit strange (a sequence of bytes that is specific to a piece of malware, but
your sequence does not 100% match, only 99%). When trying to code-sign that
app then the protection software says that enough is enough and simply
blocks the devil app. Well done, thank you!

Some weeks ago a customer sent me an executable that was impossible to
code-sign (his avast! refused to do it). We found out that one of his
embedded icons in the EXE resource caused it. He changed ONE pixel and
bingo. Code-signing worked. Cool, and that does not scare me at all, no.

Or this one: code-signing 20 application files works fine without any
problem but beginning with file #21 it stops working. Why? Because the
protection software monitors all actions and code-signing more than 20 apps
in a row is a bad thing TODAY. Tomorrow, you can code-sign 25 apps but on
next Saturday only 10. I really like all these hourly distributed
definition files because they permanently change "the rules".

And yes, all this takes the fun out of what we do <g>

I think it is time we put Chuck Norris on the job to get rid of the malware
and virus writers, THEN the AV companies!
