Pillar guides
Comprehensive guides for shipping signed Apple builds
End-to-end walkthroughs for the parts of Apple development that usually live in scattered Stack Overflow answers: certificates and profiles, notarization, CI signing, and the fastlane match migration story. Every guide is written for engineers who need to ship, not for documentation completeness.
iOS code signing: the complete guide
Everything you need to know about signing iOS, iPadOS, tvOS, watchOS, and visionOS builds. Certificates, provisioning profiles, App IDs, the signing flow, the three-certificate cap, rotation, the most common errors, and how to do it on CI.
macOS notarization for Electron and native apps
A practical guide to notarizing Mac apps in 2026. Developer ID signing, hardened runtime, notarytool, stapling, and the Electron-specific gotchas (electron-builder, electron-forge, @electron/notarize) that account for most rejection emails.
Apple code signing in CI/CD
Why CI signing breaks where local signing doesn't, how the keychain plumbing actually works on macOS runners, the fastlane match pattern, the HexSign pattern, and ready-to-paste setups for GitHub Actions, Bitrise, CircleCI, GitLab, and fastlane.
fastlane match alternatives and a migration playbook
What fastlane match does well, where it breaks once a team grows, the three categories of alternatives, and a step-by-step migration playbook to move off match without a re-issue storm or a release outage.
