Provide signed DMG package for Mac

[larsrc]

I was happily using Printrun on Linux until recently, where I switched to Mac. Due to company policy, I cannot install unsigned DMG packages on the Mac. Could you provide a signed DMG? Instructions are here: https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/IDEs/Conceptual/AppDistributionGuide/DistributingApplicationsOutside/DistributingApplicationsOutside.html

Hi! Unfortunately I don't have a developer ID or a mac modern enough to run any xcode version with signing capability. If you have one, would you be willing to build mac binaries?

[ntoff]

How do you build the mac binaries? Same way in windows with that batch file?

kliment... PrintRun stop running in my mac... No reason.. Yesterday was working ok... It does not open (app no responding). Any help?

@syky27 is my colleague from @3DprintFIT. He has the account and stuff needed to sign the macOS binaries.

@kliment Could you please instruct him on what exactly is needed?

How to build is at https://github.com/kliment/Printrun/blob/master/buildinstructions.txt

There is an unsigned binary at https://github.com/kliment/Printrun/releases/download/printrun-2.0.0rc5/pronterface-mac-2.0.0rc5.zip right now - you'd need to unpack it, and then run

codesign -s identityname pronterface.app --deep

Where identityname is your apple/signingkey ID.
I don't know what is needed to then package it into a dmg, but once that is done I believe the dmg needs to be signed the same way (without --deep iirc).

Alternatively you can follow the build instructions linked above locally and build it yourself - however in that case you need to edit the dist/pronterface.app/Contents/Info.plist and edit the version (set to 2.0.0rc5) and add the NSAppSleepDisabled key.

[kliment]

Here is how to create a dmg:

• copy the .app into a new folder.
• open Disk Utility -> File -> New Image -> Image From Folder.
• select the folder with the .app, give the DMG a name and save.

@kliment Hi, I'll do that tomorrow, sorry for the late response...

[kliment]

No hurry at all, @syky27 and thank you so much!

[syky27]

I have created symlink to /Applications to the .dmg, for better usability.

The app itself is signed as well as the .dmg

Please test when you get a chance.

Sorry for the link but the archive is too big to upload to GH.

Thanks, looks great, I've uploaded it to the release page.

[syky27]

Make sure, you let me know when new build pending for signature is available.

I'll be happy to sign it.

[kliment]

Awesome, thank you so much! @FidelCapo, can you test the DMG please?

[FidelCapo]

@kliment When I downloaded pronterface from the link that provided @syky27 , dmg and the app looks signed and I can open them. The Pronterface I downloaded from github relases (https://github.com/kliment/Printrun/releases/download/printrun-2.0.0rc5/pronterface-mac-2.0.0rc5.zip) is not signed.

[kliment]

@FidelCapo that is correct - I've uploaded the signed dmg to the releases also now. The .zip is still unsigned.

[FidelCapo]

@kliment ok

Dear @hroncok and @syky27, I believe we are very close to being able to release (at last) version 2.0.0 of Printrun. We face the same inconvenience as last time, we lack "developer ID or a mac modern enough to run any xcode version with signing capability". Could you please help again on this regard when the time comes?

[syky27]

@rockstorm101 sure thing, let me know...
