Validate code signing configuration — validate_signing

Checks that required credentials are available when signing is enabled. Issues warnings (not errors) for missing credentials so the build can continue – electron-builder will handle the actual failure.

Usage

validate_signing_config(
  config,
  platform = NULL,
  sign = isTRUE(config$signing$sign)
)

Arguments

config: List. The effective configuration.
platform: Character string. Target platform ("mac", "win", "linux").
sign: Logical. Whether the build is signed. export() and app_check() pass the value their sign argument resolves to, which can turn signing on when signing.sign is off. Defaults to signing.sign.

Details

On macOS, electron-builder notarizes with the first kind of credentials it finds in the environment: an Apple ID (APPLE_ID and APPLE_APP_SPECIFIC_PASSWORD, plus a team ID from APPLE_TEAM_ID or signing.mac.team_id), an App Store Connect API key (APPLE_API_KEY, APPLE_API_KEY_ID and APPLE_API_ISSUER), or a notarytool keychain profile (APPLE_KEYCHAIN_PROFILE).
