Base Elements plug-in 4.1.2 not loading on pre-Catalina systems

[Peter Wagemans]

Got a call this morning from a customer, his solution started with a plug-in loading error.

After some research, I discovered that pre-Catalina Macs did not load the plug-in anymore. FileMaker apps that remained running overnight had the plug-in loaded and functional, but when restarting FileMaker, the plug-in did not reload.

My first thought was that some certificate expired, allthough a "codesign -dv --verbose=4 BaseElements.fmplugin" does not reveal any expiry date. Super strange.

It had to be something expiring though. So I codesigned it again, with my own Mac developer certificate... and it loaded again.

It's half past 5 in the evening in Australia, maybe Nick or Marc get this message. I don't really know if it's OK to post the working plug-in here, I sure am going to install it at my customer, so they get through the day.

I've send an urgent mail to Mark and Nick, so they are aware of the issue.

Nick has codesigned the plug-in again and this resolves the issue. http://goya.com.au/files/beplugin/4.1.2/BaseElements.fmplugin.zip

There's a newly code-signed build here :

Thanks Nick! I had the same issue this morning on OSX Mojave and the new version is working. Cheers!

I need to remember to check here on my troubleshooting list. Spent all morning beating our heads against this.
