Codesign non-AppStore build with AppStore signing identity

  • Thread-topic: Codesign non-AppStore build with AppStore signing identity

One of our apps (distributed via our website) is not signed. It seems that
Parental Controls signs our app behind our back to do what it does.

This obviously alters our app and breaks some integrity checks.

A Tech Note says that simply signing it will fix this.

Can we just sign it the same way we do the version built for the App Store,
using the same digital signature?

Thanks,
