Halloween LED lights on a plastic trick or treat cauldron

Image
Halloween has past but it wasn’t uneventful. My two year old daughter went trick or treating for the first time and it was all so exciting! When i saw the plastic cauldron she was carrying as a trick or treat bag i had an idea. I could use an arduino to operate red LEDs and make the cauldron flash on and off like little evil eyes. I knew she would love it! Once I drilled the holes and got all the pieces I needed: 2 red LEDs soldered in series with a resistor. I connected those to a breadboard arduino I had spare. (See my blog post on making a breadboard arduino.) You can just use a normal Arduino UNO here instead if you prefer. My reasons are because they're cheaper, and also because a breadboard Arduino uses less power and I wanted this to be battery powered. I'm powering the whole thing with 3 AA batteries in a battery case. Because Maplin has shut down in the UK :((( I will have to wait for the battery holder to be delivered... no more weekend fun popping down t...

code signing, entitlements, bundles, sandboxes, hardened runtime, notarisation, app store security

Some people had mentioned troubles with code signing, i thought a brain dump of my learnings on it might be informative and helpful as I've learned a lot in developing a mac app (the s4a IDE).  Some of these concepts are used in ios too but this post is about mac apps. First up, terminology. Code signing. *** This is a variant of normal PKI (public key infrastructure) signing. A hash is made of the binary you're signing (the actual macho executable file), then encrypted with your private key to make a signature that anyone with your public key can decrypt and verify to check your binary hasn't been altered in any way since you signed it. Code signing could in theory be done with any tool, (many of these concepts are NOT mac/ios only concepts but follow general unix/windows/etc. principles and ideas widely used across industry), but in reality, people on a mac use the built in (to macOS) tool "codesign" which is a command line tool that can create, alter, remove an...
