Code signing error with Mac build

[glennrfisher]

I'm having trouble building the Mac target of Freddy with Carthage. The problem seems related to the code signing identity for the Mac target. Any help would be much appreciated! :)

Here's my Cartfile:

github "bignerdranch/Freddy"

Here's the console log:

macbook-pro-3:Freddy glennfisher$ carthage update
*** Fetching Freddy

Hmmm. I'm not sure what Carthage is doing that our normal xcodebuild invocations on Travis aren't. The null code signing identity is the right thing to do… and works fine in our other frameworks. Strange.

Strange indeed. I went into the Xcode preferences and created a signing identity for Mac development, but I still see the same error.

I'm still generally confused about code signing. Can you explain why the - code signing identity is the right one to use? I've seen other repositories specify Don't Code Sign which has seemed to resolve similar problems in the past (Carthage/Carthage#897).

I may play around with the code signing settings in a fork and see if I can't get that to build with Carthage.

Thanks for your help! It's very appreciated. :)

Ah... I think I found the problem. It looks like I was using an older version of Carthage. I updated to the most recent release and can now build the Mac target for Freddy just fine.

Thanks for your help!
