Hello, 

I am using Xcode 6.1.1 on OS X Yosemite and have exported an archive as a Mac 
Installer Package using a Developer ID to sign it. The installer is created 
successfully, and when run, the installer executes the installation 
successfully. But when I attempt to launch the app, it crashes immediately, 
with the following in the crash dump: 

Exception Type:        EXC_CRASH (Code Signature Invalid)
Exception Codes:       0x0000000000000000, 0x0000000000000000

The problem is somehow with signing, though build settings in Xcode all follow 
the documented approach to code signing using the proper Mac Developer Program 
certificates. I have no errors or warnings when building the app. I have no 
errors or warnings or problems launching and running the app in the debugger. I 
also can export the same archive as a Developer ID-signed Application and it 
exports, launches, and runs just fine. Additionally, this is not something new 
I'm doing -- in previous development cycles (and earlier in this one) I was 
able to successfully export as a Mac Installer Package and run fine -- albeit 
that was on earlier versions of Xcode (and possibly OS X too). 

In various other Internet-y places, I have found references to others having 
this same problem recently, but none of those had any resolution. A couple of 
posters commented that even after several weeks with communicating with Apple 
DTS they still hadn't been given or were able to find a resolution. So I am 
appealing to the community on the following points: 

Has anyone who has encountered this found a resolution to the problem? 
Can anyone confirm this as a legitimate Xcode bug? 
Any other suggestions to get around this? (Please note -- for reasons out of my 
control, this app has to be distributed as a Developer ID-signed Mac Installer 
Package -- we cannot distribute at this time through the Mac App Store. Perhaps 
down the road, but not at this time). 

Your help is appreciated. This is a direct show-stopper for us being able to 
ship our app to production. 

Thanks, 

Brad
