IDE fails to launch on macOS Ventura (IEP-972)

[kolipakakondal]

This is a problem that we have seen with our development builds. However, I am pretty sure that we will have the same problem with the macOS Espressif-IDE installers as well. I am posting it here so that it will be helpful as a reference.

Context:
I have been experiencing issues with my Eclipse IDE since updating it to Eclipse 2022-03 and my macOS to version 13.4 two weeks ago. Despite working fine initially, the IDE now fails to launch and crashes upon attempting to do so.

Error Code:

Exception Type:  EXC_CRASH (SIGKILL (Code Signature Invalid))
Exception Codes: 0x0000000000000000, 0x0000000000000000
Exception Note:  EXC_CORPSE_NOTIFY
Termination Reason: CODESIGNING 1

Reason:
Eclipse app itself is modifying and thus breaking its own code signature. It’s likely that this is triggering a problem within macOS’s trusted execution subsystem. I don't know I have not faced these issues with earlier versoins of Eclipse. My guess is that Apple would have introduced something more with the macOS Ventura and causing this problem. Most likely this has to be fixed in the Eclipse.

Workaround
Sign the modified Eclipse.app

$ codesign --force --deep --sign - /Applications/Eclipse.app
/Applications/Eclipse.app: replacing existing signature
