How to use winebottler 20176/21/2023 ![]() My efforts so far are further documented here. ![]() ![]() My goal is an exact explanation of what I need to do to get a "Mac Developer:" certificate for use with my Windows program in Winebottler. The author of WineBottler has not responded to my emails asking for clarification. There is some other terse documentation at the WineBottler site, linking to pages on Apple's site about bundles and Gatekeeper, but it is of little help to me, a simple Windows programmer. The "Mac Developer:" certificate looks to be something I need to get from Xcode, but I'm not using Xcode to build my application, I'm using WineBottler to make a Windows program run on Mac. I was able to get a "Developer ID Application:" certificate, but that's evidently not the same thing. However, I can't figure out how to get this particular certificate it wants me to provide. I registered as an Apple developer, paying my $99. All I need to do is get a "Mac Developer" certificate. Winebottler has the ability to sign applications made with it, see this page. I have not been able to figure out how to get the proper "Mac Developer:" certificate as an Apple developer. This process works fine, except that the application is unsigned and so runs afoul of OS X's new tightening of Gatekeeper, which scares off users. I use WineBottler to convert a Windows program I wrote, Mineways, for use on the Mac.
