libjlinenative.jnilib not signed

[davidcockbill]

I am trying to notarize a dmg and it is failing due to libjlinenative.jnilib not being signed.

For my application, jline is brought in as a transitive dependency by scala-compiler

Running mvn org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-dependency-plugin:3.4.0:tree:

Notarize works:

[INFO] +- org.scala-lang:scala-compiler:jar:2.13.13:compile
[INFO] |  +- org.scala-lang:scala-library:jar:2.13.13:compile
[INFO] |  +- org.scala-lang:scala-reflect:jar:2.13.13:compile
[INFO] |  \- org.jline:jline:jar:3.24.1:compile

Notarize broken:

[INFO] +- org.scala-lang:scala-compiler:jar:2.13.14:compile

[INFO] |  +- org.scala-lang:scala-reflect:jar:2.13.14:compile
[INFO] |  \- org.jline:jline:jar:3.25.1:compile 

The error in questions is as follows (sensitive details changed to protect the guilty):

<SNIP>

Essential libjlinenative.jnilib is not signed. This occurs both on Intel and Arm.

If I override the transitive jline version to pull in the latest version (3.26.2) it still fails. If I pull in the latest scala-compiler and override jline with version 3.24.1 the notarize is a success.

We've never signed anything on our side, maybe the Scala guys did sign JLine on their side somehow ?

Hi gnodet,

Thanks for your reply. You are probably correct about Scala signing JLine. For now I have a workaround; but I guess the intent of the original bug still stands. If this artefact is to be built into a Mac application it should really be signed.

Thanks,
Dave.

You are probably correct about Scala signing JLine

I don't think so, we don't do anything special with JLine, it's just an ordinary dependency. (I am the Scala 2 release manager.)

Seth, thanks for your valued knowledge!
