I want to export Mac OS application out side App Store and I need to have Developer Id installer certificate to do the same. When I go to certificate section in developer portal - I only see option of
- Mac App Distribution
- Mac Installer Distribution
- Developer ID Application
Does anyone know where I can check the Developer ID installer part. Developer ID application doesn't work for signing the app manually.
Developer ID signing identities are precious. If you have one, you can sign code that’s indistinguishable from legitimate code created by your organisation. Given that, Apple has additional limits on such signing identities. I talk about that in gory detail in The Care and Feeding of Developer ID.
One of those limits is that only an Account Holder can manually create Developer ID certificates. I suspect you’re not the Account Holder for your team, and that’s why you’re seeing this problem. You should talk to your Account Holder and discuss how to proceed.
IMPORTANT Make sure you read the above-mentioned post because it’s easy to paint yourself into a corner with Developer ID.
Share and Enjoy
