XBMC and Mac Firewall Popup
#16
OK thanks everyone for this great workaround,

I followed the earlier post but still have some issues first is syntax (no doubt a typo)

'codesign -vvv /Path/To/xbmc.app' is misleading, an example of the path would be so much more helpful. this worked for me
Code:
codesign -vvv '/Volumes/YourHardDriveName/Applications/xbmc.app'

next had to install Xcode. Latest version helped out a lot, but if using an older version we may need to apply a link
Code:
ln -s /usr/bin/codesign_allocate /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/codesign_allocate

I believe this link applies to an older Xcode version, either way with it or the latest Xcode or even Xcode installed at all we may get an error "cannot find code object on disk"

Then this worked
Code:
export CODESIGN_ALLOCATE="/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/codesign_allocate"

Applied new certificate
Code:
codesign -f -s XBMC '/Volumes/YourHardDriveName/xbmc.app'
results in
replacing existing signature

then validation
Code:
codesign -vvv '/Volumes/YourHardDriveName/xbmc.app'
results in
valid on disk
satisfies it's designated requirement


Don't forget to remove and reinstall the firewall entry (like I just did) then YAY success

Thanks to all for this fix to a very frustrating issue
