I have a file in build/ containing the following:Ĭom.allow-dyld-environment-variablesĬom.disable-library-validationĬom.allow-unsigned-executable-memoryĬom.-selected.read-onlyĬom.-events I then went through an iteration cycle of trying out different combinations of settings until it finally worked.

Thankfully electron-notarize does most of the work here, so I installed that: npm install electron-notarize -save-dev Notarizing involves uploading the application bundle to Apple's servers, where they run some automatic scans against it before returning a notarization ticket that can be "stapled" to the binary. It still wouldn't open without complaints on another machine until I had got it notarized. This worked! It generated a signed Datasette.app package. You can also pass the file itself, but I would need the base64 option later to work with GitHub actions. That CSC_LINK variable is set to the base64 encoded version of the certificate file.

The CSC_KEY_PASSWORD was the password I set earlier when I exported the certificate. \ĬSC_LINK=$(openssl base64 -in Developer-ID-Application-Certificates.p12) \ Then I ran the following: CSC_KEY_PASSWORD=. I added "dist": "electron-builder -publish never" to my "scripts" block in package.json. I installed it with: npm install electron-builder -save-dev Building a signed copy of the applicationĪt this point I turned to electron-builder to do the rest of the work. It asked me to set a password, so I generated and saved a random one in 1Password. I saved the resulting file as Developer-ID-Application-Certificates.p12.

It took me quite a while to figure out how to create this - in the end what worked for me was this: Upload the CertificateSigningRequest.certSigningRequest file, and Apple should provide you a developerID_application.cer to download.

The certificate needed is for a "Developer ID Application" - so select that option from the list of options on Creating a Developer ID Application certificate This produces a CertificateSigningRequest.certSigningRequest file.

Choose "Saved to disk", and click Continue.

Leave the CA Email Address field empty.

In the Common Name field, enter a name for the key (for example, Gita Kumar Dev Key).

In the Certificate Assistant dialog, enter an email address in the User Email Address field.

Choose Keychain Access > Certificate Assistant > Request a Certificate from a Certificate Authority.

Launch Keychain Access located in /Applications/Utilities.

Generate a Certificate Signing Requestįirst you need to generate a Certificate Signing Request using Keychain Access on a Mac - I was unable to figure out how to do this on the command-line. Since a later stage here involves storing the account password in a GitHub repository secret, I think this is a better way to go: I don't like the idea of my personal Apple ID account password being needed by anyone else who should be able to sign my application. I had a previous (expired) account with a UK address, and changing to a USA address required a support ticket - so instead I created a brand new Apple ID specifically for the developer account. Pay for an Apple Developer accountįirst step is to pay $99/year for an Apple Developer account. I had to figure this out for Datasette Desktop.
