Trying to codesign an application for compatability with Gatekeeper introduced in OSX 10.8

Following the instructions in https://developer.apple.com/resources/developer-id/Developer-ID-Tutorial.pdf

  • Create a Developer Account and waited for confirmation
  • Created and exported developer certificates from Xcode 4.4
  • Created a new OSX/Cocoa Application and set Product Name and Company
    Identifier field to give correct Bundle Identifier

Then on page 9 of the pdf the section Code Signing with a Developer ID Certificate tells me to go to build settings, and search for “code signing” to show only code signing settings.

But I see no code signing options,

What am I missing ?

    Select your target in Xcode and search for “Code Signing Identity” (CODE_SIGN_IDENTITY), and put “Developer ID Application”.

    You can also manually sign an application in the Terminal:

    codesign -f -s "Developer ID Application" MyApp.app

    You can verify if your application is correctly signed:

    codesign -vvv MyApp.app
