• Dismiss Join GitHub today. GitHub is home to over 50 million developers working together to host and review code, manage projects, and build software together.
• Apr 07, 2017 To open an unsigned app, you need to right-click or Control-click the app and select “Open”. This works on macOS Sierra as well as previous versions of macOS. You’ll be warned that the app is from an unidentified developer–in other words, it isn’t signed with a valid developer signature. If you trust the app, click “Open” to run it.
• To answer #1 and #2 above, Apple has open-sourced its code for creating and verifying digital signatures as libsecuritycodesigning. So a developer could build that into their app to let it validate its own signature. Alternatively, MacOS's version of this library can be used by an app - but the API.

One potential route by which an attacker can compromise your Mac is to modify a legitimate software package to contain malware. While this is difficult to do through official software distribution channels (e.g., the Mac App Store), it can be done through popular alternative approaches like peer-to-peer networking and third-party software distribution Web sites.

Such was the case with some of Apple’s software, where hackers installed malware in past versions of iWork and XCode that were distributed by means other than Apple’s servers. In addition to modified distributions of software, malware in the past has accessed and compromised built-in programs like Safari. Such modifications often cause instability to the program and spur investigation, but sometimes can go completely unnoticed.

Code Signing. Code signing your app assures users that it is from a known source and the app hasn’t been modified since it was last signed. Before your app can integrate app services, be installed on a device, or be submitted to the App Store, it must be signed with a certificate issued by Apple.

Luckily, with the advent of Apple’s developer program, most popular apps for OS X that are maintained and supported by their developers undergo digital signing. This is where a calculation is run on the finalized app that uses metrics such as the number of files in the app package, their sizes, checksums, and other details, and generates a signature code that is accepted by the developer and Apple.

You can use digital signing to both automatically and manually determine if an app has been compromised, and then further investigate whether to trust the app.

Automatic signature detection

When an app is run on your Mac, OS X’s GateKeeper feature will validate the signature, allowing properly signed packages to run, but requiring explicit execution for others. As such, provided you have GateKeeper at its maximum protection settings you should be able to detect potential problems with new software that you download.

Do note that while GateKeeper will detect signature issues with programs you are running for the first time, it will not assess changes to those that have previously run. As such, to check your current installations, manual assessment may be needed to check your current apps.

Manual signature detection

If you wish to manually inspect the status of your apps’ signatures, then you can do so using the OS X Terminal:

1. Open the Terminal
2. Type the following command, followed by a single space:
3. Drag your desired app to the Terminal window, to enter a full path to it, so it looks like the following (leaving the trailing slash is optional):
4. Press Enter to run the verification.

When run, you will see output such as the following for Safari that indicates if the app is valid and whether or not its signing requirements have been satisfied:

If the app’s contents have been modified (altered files, or unrecognized components added to the app package), then you will see another output, such as the following that indicates a file “nefariousfile.sh” that was added to the program:

Note that for any app where the output of this command claims a file was added or modified (such as the above), be very skeptical of the app and consider immediately removing it and replacing it with one obtained directly from the developer.

In addition to checking the code signature, you can use OS X’s system policy routines for assessing the validity of apps and their signatures. This approach is similar to using the “codesign” tool, but gives a reason why the signature was accepted or rejected:

In this case the sources of acceptance are the following:

Beyond this, rejections may happen for a variety of reasons, including no usable signature, obsolete resources, missing or invalid resources, among others.

Note that if you have explicitly run your app and confirmed to bypass GateKeeper’s warnings, then it may still run even if not properly signed, so if manual assessment of your app shows it as being rejected, then consider investigating it. Often such problems happen because apps are simply old, or it may be that the developer is legitimate but just has not signed the app (though most are getting onboard with Apple’s signing process), but if it is a current and updated app that should be signed, then do look into replacing it with the most recent version.

For ease, you can run these verifications and assessments commands on all of your apps by combining them with the following uses of the “find” command. This will locate all app packages in your Applications folder, and then execute the above assessment commands on them (copy and paste the following commands into the Terminal to run them):

For codesign verification:

For system policy assessment:

When these commands are run, the output for each app found will be listed in the Terminal. Resize the Terminal to accommodate the output, and then scroll up and down to review the status of your apps.

The “find” commands above will give output such as the following, where apps will be sequentially assessed and their results displayed in the Terminal. Here you can see a number of apps are “rejected” for a variety of reasons (obsolete, insufficient, or missing signature information).

I did have time to try some troubleshooting steps, basically I followed Re: How do I fully reset Mail.app? (many thanks to Eric Root) and Re: How to reset mail to factory settings. (advise by Linc Davis) which is pretty much overlap of both.

Thanks to above procedures I was finally able to rebuild my Mail app's folders inside my Library, and make the Mail app re-download all the emails. After this everything was looking good and all my sent emails were showing Signed properly.

Quickbooks mac app vs online tv. QuickBooks Desktop for Mac and QuickBooks Online are both accounting software designed to handle financial data, invoicing, and reporting. Both solutions are popular with small businesses, though QuickBooks online is also used by many mid-sized companies.

But from this point, with newly sent signed emails which have attachment the failure is back, showing 'Unable to verify message signature' like at the beginning.

Also for some reason in the left column the email doesn't show it has attachment, but it clearly has and it is showing attachment symbol in the right pane ok. But as you can see, previously re-download emails appear to be ok, so only new ones are affected by this failure.

So the problem is not in my signing certificate, and it's even not in the emails because they re-download properly and also all my recipients see them ok. The problem must be somewhere with my Mail app or it's folders inside my Library, but I don't know, where???

I tried to search for Mail related files inside my Library with find ~/Library -name '*apple.mail*' and I have got following list:

I don't know if I could delete maybe some of those files to help resynchronize my Mail app? Does anyone have an idea?
