Hi there!

In the past few days I started to learn about codesigning and I gathered some info so I will share it with you.

I know how hard it was to find the right steps so maybe I'll save some people the trouble

Codesign any vst/component:

In my case it was Autotune.

1.Remove extended attributes: xattr -rc /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST3/Auto-Tune\ Pro.vst3


2.Check for file integrity: ls -l@ /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST3/Auto-Tune\ Pro.vst3


This will list extended attributes (@ after the file details). If any non-standard attributes are shown, you can remove them with xattr.


3.Try signing the file again: codesign --force --deep --sign "Apple Development: [email protected] (xxxxxxxxxx)" /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST3/Auto-Tune\ Pro.vst3


4.Check the contents of the VST3 bundle : cd /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST3/Auto-Tune\ Pro.vst3/Contents/MacOS/

ls


If there’s an executable file (e.g., Auto-Tune Pro), you can sign it separately: codesign --force --sign "Apple Development: [email protected] (xxxxxxxxxx)" /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST3/Auto-Tune\ Pro.vst3/Contents/MacOS/Auto-Tune\ Pro


5. Verify the signature: codesign --verify --deep --strict /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST3/Auto-Tune\ Pro.vst3
