Codesign Failed Compiling for openFrameworks

I continually get a codesign failure when compiling an openFrameworks (C++) program.

I found quite a few people with similar problems but the solutions did not work for me. Here is what I have done, informed by other forum entries:

  • Create a new Self Signed Root certificate for Code Signing in my keychain
  • Log out of and back into my keychain
  • Create a new keychain, switch the default keychain, change the password of the original keychain, change the default keychain back to the original, log back into the main keychain
  • Export my certificate and private key together in a .p12 file and then import into keychain (also repeated this process with deleting the original certificate and key before importing)
  • Export the certificate from Xcode (for a planned re-import) but I get "The operation could not be completed // No other information about is available about the problem" (the most unhelpful error message I've ever seen)
  • "Export Apple ID and Code Signing Assets" and then import of the same (all in Xcode)
  • Every combination (I think) of the Signing settings in the project

I had a developer account years ago and I wonder if somehow this is interfering with the process. I tried to access my certificates on the Apple Developer site but I don't have access to this portion of the service because my membership is expired.

This error occurs with any openFrameworks example I try as well as a new, blank sketch.

The full error message:

Solution

  • This is a known problem with openFrameworks <= 0.10.1 and Xcode 11+. It is due to an unsigned libmodex library. This is fixed in the nightly release and in future releases of oF. Please see the following posts for references:
