Signing and Mavericks: Very simply put, you can no longer sign a bundle (like your .app) if any nested bundle in that package is unsigned. These nested bundles are things like helper executables, embedded frameworks, plug-ins and XPC services. The result is that you'll need to update your Xcode projects as soon as you start […]
