I have an application (installer, actually) that was built outside of Xcode which I have codesigned using the codesign
utility, but when I try to install it after downloading the signed app, Gatekeeper complains that it comes from an unidentified developer. I have tried using the "3rd Party Mac Developer:..." identity, as well as my own "Mac Developer:..." identity; same result in either case. codesign
(as far as I can tell) says all is well, so I'm thinking I'm either using the wrong identity (in which case my question is what I should use/make-to-use instead) or the signature is fine, but there is something that needs to be done w/ my developer account (in which case my question is what might that be).

This appears to be the original question about this topic and subsequently cross-posting to SU.SE and AD.SE was a bad idea. If you feel your question is in the wrong place then please flag for a mod to migrate. Thanks. – Kev Sep 07 '12 at 23:10

What is SE? I did post to SU (Super User) and AD (Ask Different), but nowhere else. – Scott Hunter Sep 09 '12 at 01:03

SE == Stack Exchange. SuperUser and Ask Different are all sites in the same Q&A network so you should only ask your question **one** of the sites. – Kev Sep 09 '12 at 01:05

According to Apple, and verified by me :), there is another set of identities specifically for signing apps to satisfy the intermediate security setting in Gatekeeper, but only a Team's Agent can get, which is why I wasn't getting them. My agent got them, I used them, and Gatekeeper is happy.
