Do we really need to install this?

and someone suggested to codesign like this:

Copy this line:

-sudo xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine

(mind the "blank" after "quarantine" - important!)

-into a new opened Terminal, locate the app you want to codesign (ex. "AGSC.component") and drag the app into the Terminal window

-press enter

-type your password (your login pass, which would not show up in Terminal window)

-then press enter again

that's it

can someone shed some light unto this?

Use the codesigner app anyway, if you can. It is faster and reduces possible typos. https://mega.nz/file/sV4wXQQQ#GgV1gF7S38E09nCCAmzWszCR3GQc9PwQP4nOnLFmQ2Y

After you have gone through hoops and hurdles to get M1/Waves working?! I would not take the word of a "legit" computer website article and think any of that applies to the "modifications" you may do to your system to install scene releases. But I linked the page because it does cover the normal install sizes of generic Xcode installs. I am on Xcode9 on High Sierra and Intel Macs only, but personally I would find something else to move around if short on internal SSD space.

 

First, xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine it is the Terminal command to dequarantine an app not to codesign it

Codesign command = sudo codesign -f -s - "drag the app's executable"

The whole Xcode not rquired.
You just need to download the Command Line Tools pasting the command bellow in Terminal:

Code:

xcode-select --install

 

What are Xcode Command Line Tools?
If you're not developing software for an Apple device, you won't need the full Xcode application (it requires over 40GB of disk space!).

Instead, you'll install Xcode Command Line Tools. It's a smaller package for software developers with tools that run on the command line, that is, in the Terminal application. by type this in the Terminal it will install only the Command Line Tool.

Code:

xcode-select --install

Luckily, the Xcode Command Line Tools package only requires 1.2GB of space on your disk.

 

ok I see, so if you dont mind I still have two questions

1-If you un install Xcode will anything happen to already installed CODE SIGNED apps from the Sista site?
2- is this a normal way to code sign in terminal?
-sudo xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine
(mind the "blank" after "quarantine" - important!)
-into a new opened Terminal, locate the app you want to codesign (ex. "AGSC.component") and drag the app into the Terminal window
-press enter
-type your password (your login pass, which would not show up in Terminal window)
-then press enter again

 

1. It should not. You can always just re codesign anything that you ever "break" the digital signature on by alterations.

2. No. This is adding to quarantine. Those instructions as written will not work. Use Codesigner, I already linked you the application. Or type codesign man in Terminal to read the usage syntax for codesign. See tech note for more in-depth about Codesign than you probably want to read here: https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/technotes/tn2206/_index.htmlb


example: codesign man

Usage: codesign -s identity [-fv*] [-o flags] [-r reqs] [-i ident] path ... # sign

codesign -v [-v*] [-R=<req string>|-R <req file path>] path|[+]pid ... # verify

codesign -d [options] path ... # display contents

codesign -h pid ... # display hosting paths

 

what does quarantine do when you use this command?
thanks

 

-sudo xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine ? just this?

sudo - superuser DO xattr (extended attributes)

xattr - Display and manipulate extended attributes of one or more files, including directories and symbolic links.

-r If a file argument is a directory, act as if the entire contents of the directory
recursively were also specified (so that every file in the directory tree is acted upon).

-d delete given attribute

put together and it removes the quarantine flag; but this does not Codesign.

xcode-select --install in terminal,
ignore the extra tools in "system settings update"
trash the "developer" folder in "user/Library" folder, its going to be 2+ gb something..
keep codesigning, move on, dont look back.
