Hey there @bubudrc,

Those packages are not codesigned. I believe the problem is, actually, the github key that's installed in your system (you'd need to generate a new one).

More on the subject here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/71500791/eclipse-git-youre-using-an-rsa-key-with-sha-1-which-is-no-longer-allowed-pl

Thank you and good luck!

hi @jleandroperez Thanks for your quick reply and good tip.

I'm was able to build and run the project, but I can't login. I'm haven't a Simperium account and my simplenote's prod credentials, doesn't works.

Checking the Readme on the iOS project:

This will allow you to compile and run the app on a device or a simulator. With the app running in the simulator you can connect to Simplenote. Note that for testing builds you can only connect to Simplenote account using the email address and password of your account on Simperium.com. You can not connect to regular Simplenote accounts in development builds.

So, do you know if exist a demo/dev account that I can use to fully run the app?

Thanks in advance

Hey @bubudrc, I'm glad to hear it's working now!

Regarding Simperium Credentials, I'm afraid signups are not enabled at the moment, but please do refer to the Setup Credentials section.

You can use the demo credentials, bundled in the repository:

mkdir -p Simplenote/Credentials && cp Simplenote/SPCredentials-demo.swift Simplenote/Credentials/SPCredentials.swift

Hope that helps!

[bubudrc]

I'm already did that.

This is what I have:

[jleandroperez]

That APIKey / AppID isn't meant to give access to Simplenote's data store. That includes the users collection.

Is it possible you haven't signed up in that environment, and you're attempting to login with your Simplenote.com credentials?

[bubudrc]

I tried my Simplenote.com credentials and didnt works.

So, I signup again, with a different email account. I got the email link: https://app.simplenote.com/account/complete-signup?token=Vp4rvfN7BuPqIMOYA6iAZGLRVTqNIlbG

An login correctly on web, but in the app, still give me an error. This is what I'm running:

Normal Login is making a request to: Simperium Authenticating: https://auth.simperium.com/1/history-analyst-dad/authorize/ Simperium authentication error (401): (null)

Login with Wordpress credentials are making a request to: https://public-api.wordpress.com/oauth2/authorize?response_type=code&scope=global&client_id=not-required&redirect_uri=not-required&state=app-9C17DC05-4B41-4DDD-8A76-378C80C12864

I'm also have a warning:

Could not find secrets file at /.../simplenote-macos/Simplenote/Credentials/SPCredentials.swift. This is likely due to the source secrets being missing from /.../.configure/simplenote-macos/secrets. Falling back to /.../simplenote-macos/Simplenote/SPCredentials-demo.swift. In a Release build, this would be an error. If you are an internal contributor, run bundle exec fastlane run configure_apply to update your secrets and try again. If you are an external contributor, you can ignore this warning.

So, if I'm run $ bundle exec fastlane run configure_apply, the terminal return me: Could not find fastlane-plugin-wpmreleasetoolkit-5.6.0, bigdecimal-1.4.4 in locally installed gems

so, I run: $ bundle install, the terminal return me:

Gem::Ext::BuildError: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

I'm install the bigdecimal gem on the latest version (3.0.0) and (1.4.4) how the docs mentioned, but the fastlane-plugin-wpmreleasetoolkit always fails

Thanks for your time and your help. This was my last intend to run the app correctly.

I'm sorry you had a rough time trying to setup the environment @bubudrc !!!

There are newly implemented security measures, backend side, that are probably causing this headache. For the record, the way around this is probably in the lines of:

1. Call simperium.com REST Endpoint, directly, and create a new user
2. Switch back to the Simplenote Xcode app, run, and use the credentials mentioned above

Regarding the bundler errors you mentioned, it should be possible to clone and build the codebase, directly, without using those (I don't use bundler myself).

Again, I apologize about the inconveniences. All the best!

[bubudrc]

Hi @jleandroperez ... thanks for taking the time to bring me this solution.

This is the magic answer:

Call simperium.com REST Endpoint, directly, and create a new user

Making that request, I'm was able to login on the Mac app, on the dev environment.

Maybe could be a good idea update the Readme file, with this 2 options 🤔

Tanks for you help 😄

[jleandroperez]

Ahhhh awesome, I'm glad it's sorted out!! Again, I'm sorry about the trouble. I'll make sure the readme gets updated.

Hope you have an epic weekend!

P.s.: Mucho gusto señor!
