I don't think he does.
The E. B. A. S. C. relies on AEWP, which is utterly, hopelessly,
unspeakably deprecated.
He does in fact want to use SMJobBless, which is Apple's current, and
only, blessed paradigm for executing tasks with elevated privileges from a
"normal" app.
The problem with "SMJobBless" is that it is one of the strangest bits
of sample code ever to be hosted by Apple, in that it builds and runs but
doesn't actually *do* anything.
I recommend that OP get the "SMJobBlessXPC" sample code, which builds
upon "SMJobBless", and actually does something provable, and gives him avenues
to debug.
About the code signing, yes-- it is persnickety and finicky… but that's
code signing. Don't change anything in the sample code until you have it
working, then change only the name of your host app, confirm, then change only
the value of your code sign, confirm, etc
