So when I run "sudo ~/bin/createinstalliso --isodirectory ~/Desktop/ --applicationpath ~/Desktop/Install\ OS\ X\ Mavericks.app/", I get:

Making disk image bootable...
The bless of the installer disk image failed.

I tried "codesign --remove-signature ~/bin/createInstalliso" and also running through rosetta to no avail.

It probably is the certification error but how do I get past it?

I am also trying to debug this particular error for the Mavericks installer.

Modifying the script to output the complete bless command, and executing it outside of the script like this:

bless --folder {random folder given by the script}/InstallDisk/System/Library/CoreServices --file {random folder given by the script}/InstallDisk/System/Library/CoreServices/boot.efi --openfolder {random folder given by the script}/InstallDisk --label Install OS X Mavericks

Outputs the following error: bless: The 'openfolder' is not supported on Apple Silicon devices.

After some digging, apparently this option is not needed for M1 devices. Evidence. So I just removed the option from the script.

Try that. I'm using this script to run Mavericks on UTM, with utmconfigs, but I have this exact issue. Maybe your use case is different and the solution specified earlier might help you.
