app_signer is a tool to re-sign iOS .app files to create a new .ipa with a given provisioning profile and certificate.

Usage

Explanation of Parameters

  • app_path - Path to the iOS .app file to be signed.
  • provisioning_profile_path - Path to the provisioning profile to be used to sign the ipa.
  • signing_identity - Common name in the certificate to be used to sign the ipa. This can be found by opening the keychain, right clicking the certificate, and clicking ‘get info’.
  • signing_identity_SHA1 - SHA1 of the certificate to be used to sign the app. This can be found by opening the keychain, right clicking the certificate, and clicking ‘get info’. This is needed because it’s possible to have two certificates with the same common name.
