- Thread-topic: GUI for codesign tool?
Having just gone through the exercise of code signing an application that
includes two helper apps in its Resources folder and a secondary executable
in its MacOS folder and that uses a framework installed in
/Library/Frameworks, I'm wondering if anybody plans to write a GUI app to
cover the codesign tool.
I think it would be quite useful. It seems to me that the code signing
operation is best handled separately from building an application with
multiple components and frameworks. It makes operational sense to move code
signing to the stage where the Installer app is put together, because as the
code signing guide indicates, it's not a good idea to have code-signed
intermediate release versions of your app sitting around where they might
fall into the wrong hands. For this reason, a script build phase in the
project's Release configuration isn't all that appropriate. Also, a GUI code
signing app might work quite similarly to the Installer app setup process,
so in larger organizations it could be assigned to staff over there.
If anybody is considering writing something like this, I have some
suggestions for you.
