   System: macOS Big Sur 11.4 (20F71), chip Apple M1.

   On master (c609e10545492aba480ff17aff7eefc13a0b5cd8), after succesfull make deploy (without depends), the app installed from Bitcoin-Core.dmg fails to run.

   src/qt/bitcoin-qt works flawlessly.

   @jarolrod

   Building with depends, make deploy, and the following installation from *.dmg works fine.

   Shouldn’t make deploy depend on (at least part of) make -C depends then?

    the app installed from Bitcoin-Core.dmg fails to run.

    Hard to debug anything here with such little information. For what it’s worth, I’ve installed from the .dmg after a non depends builds, and from what I can see, the issue is related to us running strip & install_name_tool on libs while building the .dmg. This breaks some Apple code-signing requirement, and prevents the app from launching.

    Looks like some other projects have run into a similar issue when doing the same thing. i.e: https://gitlab.kitware.com/cmake/cmake/-/issues/21854.

    According to https://developer.apple.com/documentation/macos-release-notes/macos-big-sur-11_0_1-universal-apps-release-notes it looks like the binaries must be signed (at least with ad-hoc signatures):

    0codesign --sign - --deep --force dist/Bitcoin-Qt.app

    signapple should already be able to make signatures for universal binaries, so we should be good for releases.

    Done in #22546.
