Xcode 11 not launching executable

[jakemumu]

anyone experienced this?

after building a project, it never launches the executable, just says “finished running EXECUTABLE” : (

Edit: I can repro this with ableton & studio one, although logic appears to be working

Apple Gatekeeper notarised distributables

Hi Apple looks to be furthering gatekeeper protection with additional checks on distributed binaries, we can see some details about it here: https://developer.apple.com/developer-id/ and a little more from Ars here: https://arstechnica.com/features/2018/09/macos-10-14-mojave-the-ars-technica-review/10/#h3 It seems Apple wants to perform some kind of basic review of signed binaries and to then act as a notary on the developer’s signature, vouching for it not containing malware etc, so they can …

With newer hardened hosts you need to disable sip or re-sign them with appropriate entitlements.

Hey thanks for the reply. I’m not sure how to disable sip or re-sign the host, do you have any tips on that?

Thank you!

How to re-sign the host is explained here:

Changing the content of the App-bundle will only invalidate the code signature. Re-signing means running something like: codesign --force --sign "Developer ID" --options runtime --entitlements mine.entitlements --timestamp DAW.app where mine.entitlements contains at least: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>com.apple.security.cs.disable-library-validati…

Some extra data points are given here as well:

Theory works. I pulled the entitlements from Studio One 4.5.4 (codesign -d --entitlements :- /Applications/Studio\ One\ 4.5.4.app), added get-task-allow (edited plist below), resigned, and can now attach a debugger as required. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>com.apple.security.cs.allow-jit</key> <true/> <key>com.apple.security.cs.allow-unsigned-exec…

@Jake_Penn did you upgraded to catalina & xcode 11 on your only dev machine again?

[jakemumu]

Ahahaha, you know I just leave that auto update on and roll with the punches maynnnneeeee

Same problem. I am using Ableton. It was working but from yesterday I found build success, running live and then Finished running Live. When I turned on Ableton I could see building success but really tired of never launching from Xcode.

Ableton has an auto update mechanism. Unless you explicitly disabled it, it’ll eventually update to hardened version and stop debugging on modern macOS.
