We prefer to deploy NRGship for customers with hosted solutions as a customized installer so that manual configuration is not needed on workstations. With the Assisted Install option for Claris FileMaker Pro we can build these installers however recent macOS versions, MDM solutions, or security tools may not like the installers being “untrusted.” On the Mac, if you are a member of the Apple Developer Program you can take advantage of Developer certificates for app distribution. We create our unsigned installer according to the Claris documentation. Afterwards, from the command line you can code sign using the Mac developer tools.
In the example below, NRGshipU.pkg is the unsigned package created by the Claris script and NRGship.pkg is the signed package.
sudo productsign –sign “Developer ID Installer: nrg software, llc (xxx)” /Users/admin/Installer/builds/NRGshipU.pkg /Users/admin/Installer/builds/NRGship.pkg
