Ventura login items and app upgrade

Hi. We have an app whose current version has a component that is not code signed, which in turn shows up in the login items as coming from an unidentified developer.

We did the required changes and, when doing a fresh install, said component does not show up anymore (yay!).

The problem is when doing an upgrade, from the version that has the unsigned component to the newer one, as Ventura still shows the same component with the same description even though checking the signature shows that it is code signed. Is there some extra step we need to do so that the OS updates the state and the component is not there anymore?

I recommend that you file a bug about this, including:

  • A copy of your old software

  • A sysdiagnose log taken shortly before the update

  • A copy of your update

  • A sysdiagnose log taken shortly after the update

This situation is hard because your old code is unsigned, which means that there’s no way for sure to know that the updated item is the same code as the original item.

Please post your bug number, just for the record.
