OS X and Windows code signing is supported. Windows is dual code-signed (SHA1 & SHA256 hashing algorithms).

On a development machine set environment variable CSC_NAME (and CSC_INSTALLER_NAME if you build for Mac App Store) to your identity.

Env name Description
CSC_LINK The HTTPS link (or base64-encoded data) to certificate (*.p12 file).
CSC_KEY_PASSWORD The password to decrypt the certificate given in CSC_LINK.
CSC_INSTALLER_LINK osx-only The HTTPS link (or base64-encoded data) to certificate to sign Mac App Store build (*.p12 file).
CSC_INSTALLER_KEY_PASSWORD osx-only The password to decrypt the certificate given in CSC_INSTALLER_LINK.
CSC_NAME osx-only Name of certificate (to retrieve from login.keychain). Useful on a development machine (not on CI).
CSC_INSTALLER_NAME osx-only Name of installer certificate (to retrieve from login.keychain). Useful on a development machine (not on CI).
export CSC_NAME="Developer ID Application: Your Name (code)"

Travis, AppVeyor and other CI Servers

To sign app on build server you need to set CSC_LINK, CSC_KEY_PASSWORD (and CSC_INSTALLER_LINK, CSC_INSTALLER_KEY_PASSWORD if you build for Mac App Store):

  1. Export certificate. Strong password must be used. Consider to not use special characters (for bash) because “values are not escaped when your builds are executed”.

  2. Upload *.p12 file (e.g. on Google Drive, use direct link generator to get correct download link).

    Or encode file to base64 (osx/linux: base64 -in yourFile.p12 -out envValue.txt).

  3. Set CSC_LINK and CSC_KEY_PASSWORD environment variables (and CSC_INSTALLER_LINK/CSC_INSTALLER_KEY_PASSWORD in addition if you build MAS). See Travis or AppVeyor documentation. Recommended to set it in the CI Project Settings, not in the .travis.yml/appveyor.yml files to avoid special characters (for bash) issues.

    In case of AppVeyor, don't forget to click on lock icon to “Toggle variable encryption”.

Where to Buy Code Signing Certificate

StartSSL is recommended. It can be used to sign OS X app also, so, you don't need to buy Apple Certificate in addition.
