Application verification fails on ios 15 with an older version of Xcode

[avazquezdev]

Issue details

Starting with iOS 15, the system checks a new signature format (DER) so that applications can run on current OS.
For lower versions of XCode 12.5 it is necessary to include the generate-entitlement-der flag.

Robovm must sign with generate-entitlement-der flag for older XCode versions.

Reproduction steps/code

Build and run a app in real device with iOS15 in Xcode 12.4

Robovm output

check your certificate in keychain access, I think it is not trusted

Hi, I check my certificate and I did not find any problems and it is a valid certificate.
Do you suggest any other test?

Thanks!!

Try to update your xcode, I think xcode 12.4 does not support ios 15

You clearly haven’t even tried to read the original issue report? The OP is saying that starting with iOS 15 the signature format has changed and that for XCode <= 12.4 the generate-entitlement-der flag is now necessary.

The suggestion here is to patch RoboVM to pass this flag so that it is possible to use XCode <= 12.4 if needed.
