Sparkle Test App

I am writing a Safari plugin via an Input Manager and I am wanting to add update support to it. The only problem I'm having is that I am unable to update due to singing. I used to just use beta 5 as I knew it worked without having to be signed, but I think it's about time to figure this out... I am testing this with the sparkle test app. Let me explain my steps to doing this. 1. Cd into a folder for my app signatures that I will backup once I get it working. 2. Run ruby generate_keys.rb which made the dsa_priv.pem and dsa_pub.pem successfully with the messages below. Generating DSA parameters, 2048 bit long prime This could take some time .....+....................**************++++++++++++++++++++* generate_keys.rb:8: warning: Insecure world writable dir /usr/ubin in PATH, mode 040777 Generating DSA key, 2048 bits generate_keys.rb:9: warning: Insecure world writable dir /usr/ubin in PATH, mode 040777 read DSA key writing DSA key generate_keys.rb:10: warning: Insecure world writable dir /usr/ubin in PATH, mode 040777 Generated private and public keys: dsa_priv.pem and dsa_pub.pem. BACK UP YOUR PRIVATE KEY AND KEEP IT SAFE! If you lose it, your users will be unable to upgrade! I am aware that ubin is writable, it's just a place for me to place little utilities that I want to quickly access. 3. (After I updated the app with the pub key and the appcast url) I place the Sparkle Test App in a folder named Sparkle Test App and zip it up (I normally will have a documentation pdf and such in that folder as well). 4. I run ruby sign_update.rb "Sparkle Test App.zip" dsa_priv.pem output is below. I am thinking it's a bit weird that it has a return on the result.

I test the update, get the screen with everything that is suppose to be on it. 7. I push install update and after it downloads I get the error saying it was unable to extract and the console outputs below. 11/1/10 8:08:57 PM Sparkle Test App[54443] Sparkle Error: An error occurred while extracting the archive. Please try again later. 11/1/10 8:08:57 PM Sparkle Test App[54443] Sparkle Error (continued): The update is improperly signed. If you ask me, I did all the steps mentioned in the documentation and it all fails. Can you see a problem here?
