Hi ag_Christian,

TestFlight Apps on macOS are signed by Apple in a process very similar to how released App Store apps are signed.

For that matter, Apps out of Xcode are signed too, but with a developer certificate. Thus, I'm not quite sure what rules are being applied when 1Password checks for "signed apps" (or perhaps it's all a red herring and none of this is the issue why Autofill is no longer working in these apps).

I assume you're looking for particular certificate authorities or intermediate certificates - something more than just the mere presence of a signature?

Here are the results from running codesign -d -vvv <OurApp>.app on one of our TestFlight apps on macOS:


Executable=/Applications/<OurApp>.app/Contents/MacOS/<OurApp>
Identifier=com.<OurApp>

Note the Authority=TestFlight Beta Distribution certificate in the chain. A released App Store app signed by Apple would have Authority=Apple Mac OS Application Signing in its place. Likewise, a development app from Xcode would have something like Authority=Apple Development: <Developer Name> (<Developer Team ID>).

However, all signatures are still derived from Apple Worldwide Developer Relations Certification Authority and the Apple Root CA in turn.
