errSecInternalComponent

• Version: 20.44.4

• Target: MAC

Hey guys I’m having some difficulties with code signing my app.

I added my cert to key chain. I changed trust fields to Always Trust. I used command 'electron-builder -m` It created .app file no problem. Then it gives me this error msg:

Error: Command failed: codesign --sign <identityHash> --force /path/to/my.app/Contents/Frameworks/Electron Framework.framework/Versions/A/Electron Framework
Warning: unable to build chain to self-signed root for signer "<identityName>"
/path/to/my.app.app/Contents/Frameworks/Electron Framework.framework/Versions/A/Electron Framework: errSecInternalComponent

I think it has something to do with signing frameworks I use in my app, but I don’t know how to fix this… Can you help?

It fails because CI is typically does via SSH connections, meaning there is no GUI, meaning the Keychain is still locked… So when the module tries to access the key it fails with that errSecInternalComponent error (which is the big clue to this).

You need your script/CI to unlock the keychain via the command: security unlock-keychain -p {account-password} login.keychain

But I do feel it would help if the electron-builder docs had a gotcha about this…

HTH.
