Passing an App Store certificate as an argument to the codesign tool seems to work over here.
Perhaps an Apple employee will chime in as to whether or not this is something endorsed by Apple, but I don’t see why it wouldn’t be, as the purpose of code signing is to prove that the app came from you and not an imposter, and this obviously works better if the cert comes from an official source (like Apple).
