I'm getting this message spammed in the console:

The error line repeated many many times in Console.app

Additionally, my extension doesn't show up in System Preferences: The System Preferences' Extensions pane, showing my extension wasn't installed (no, I'm not developing OneNote)

Here are the commands I use to install the extension, each of which claims it succeeded:

And here is proof that the extension is indeed sandboxed:

The only possible problem I can imagine involves our code signing process. For various reasons, it's codesigned after it's compiled, using a command like the following:

codesign --force --entitlements "$ENTITLEMENT" --sign "$CODESIGN_ID" --deep "$APPEX_PATH"

This is a requirement and, sadly, cannot be bypassed. Codesigning must be done after the appex artifact is generated.

However, this has not been a problem in the past. This is the say it's been done for a while and it worked fine. The only difference I can think of is that now we are bundling in two new .frameworks... but those are signed as well, so I'm not sure what to do.

When I remove the frameworks from the project and move codesigning to Xcode, it works... but that's not a permanent solution since we still need to manually codesign later on in our process.

What can I do to get this extension installed and preserve our codesigning requirement?

  • Have you check removing those 2 new framework and see if it works? Also possible you made an XCode upgrade recently? – Tarun Lalwani Apr 03 '18 at 19:16
  • Yes, I have tried removing the frameworks and it still fails just the same way – Ky - Apr 03 '18 at 19:17
  • Well, @TarunLalwani, when I delete them from the artifact it fails the same way. When I remove them from the appex completely and shuffle signing from `codesign` to Xcode's built-in code signing, things seem to work... but that's not a permanent solution because of how we handle the final signing process – Ky - Apr 03 '18 at 19:52
  • Any help on this would be great !!! Facing the exact same issue – Siddhant Gupta Aug 31 '22 at 06:14
