codesigndoc

Your friendly iOS Code Signing Doctor.

Using this tool is as easy as running codesigndoc scan and following the guide it prints. At the end of the process you'll have all the code signing files (.p12 Identity file including the Certificate and Private Key, and the required Provisioning Profiles) required to do a successful Xcode Archive of your Xcode project.

What this tool does:

1. Gathers all information required to do a clean Xcode / Xamarin Studio Archive of your project.
2. Runs a clean Xcode / Xamarin Studio Archive on your project.
3. From the generated xcarchive file it collects the Code Signing settings Xcode / Xamarin Studio used during the Archive.
4. Prints the list of required code signing files.
5. Optionally it can also search for, and export these files.

Install / Run

One-liner

Just open up your Terminal.app on OS X, copy-paste this into it and hit Enter to run:

For Xcode project (project or workspace):

bash -l -c "$(curl -sfL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bitrise-tools/codesigndoc/master/_scripts/install_wrap-xcode.sh)"

For Xamarin project (solution):

bash -l -c "$(curl -sfL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bitrise-tools/codesigndoc/master/_scripts/install_wrap-xamarin.sh)"

Manual install & run

1. download the current release - it's a single, stand-alone binary
   • example (don't forget to replace the VERSIONNUMBER in the URL!): curl -sfL https://github.com/bitrise-tools/codesigndoc/releases/download/VERSIONNUMBER/codesigndoc-Darwin-x86_64 > ./codesigndoc
2. chmod +x it, so you can run it
   • if you followed the previous example: chmod +x ./codesigndoc
3. run the scan command of the tool
   • if you followed the previous examples:
     • Xcode project scanner: ./codesigndoc scan xcode
     • Xamarin project scanner: ./codesigndoc scan xamarin

Manually finding the required base code signing files for an Xcode project or workspace

If you'd want to manually check which files are required for archiving your project (regardless of the distribution type!), you have to do a clean archive on your Mac, using Xcode's command line tool (xcodebuild) and check the logs. The easiest way is open the Terminal app, cd into the directory where your Xcode project/workspace file is located, and do a clean archive from Terminal.

Performing a clean archive from Terminal is as easy as running this command (on your Mac) if you use an Xcode Workspace: xcodebuild -workspace "YOUR.xcworkspace" -scheme "a Shared scheme" clean archive or this one if you use an Xcode Project: xcodebuild -project "YOUR.xcodeproj" -scheme "a Shared scheme" clean archive

In the output you'll see code signing infos, namely you should search for the text Signing Identity which is followed by a Provisioning Profile line. There might be more than one configuration in the log - these are the configurations used by Xcode on your Mac when you do an Archive.

To make an Xcode Archive work on any Mac, you need the same Code Signing Identity (certificate) and Provisioning Profile(s). The signing Identities (certificates) and Provisioning Profiles present in the log are required, regardless of the final distribution type you use.

To run the xcodebuild command and only show these lines you can add the postfix: | grep -i -e 'Signing Identity' -e 'Provisioning Profile' -e ' to your call, for example: xcodebuild -workspace "YOUR.xcworkspace" -scheme "a Shared scheme" clean archive | grep -i -e 'Signing Identity' -e 'Provisioning Profile' -e '. This will run the exact same command, but will filter out every other text in the output except these lines you're searching for.

By running this command you'll see an output similar to:

Signing Identity:     "iPhone Developer: Viktor Benei (F...7)"
Provisioning Profile: "BuildAnything"
                      (9.......-....-....-....-...........0)

If you see more than one Signing Identity or Provisioning Profile line that means that Xcode had to switch between code signing configurations to be able to create your archive. All of the listed certificates & provisioning profiles have to be available to create an archive of your project with your current code signing settings.

Development

Create a new release

1. bump the version in version/version.go
2. run releaseman create-changelog --version THE.NEW.VERSION (with the right version number of course)
3. commit the CHANGELOG
4. run gows bitrise run create-release
5. commit the changes
6. tag the release: git tag THE.NEW.VERSION
7. push the changes: git push && git push origin tags/THE.NEW.VERSION
8. create the release on GitHub, and upload the new version's binary
