MacOS Code Signing

You need to make two gon configuration files, this is because we need to sign and notarize the .app before making an installer with it.

  - uses: dAppServer/wails-build-action@v2.1
    with:
      build-name: wailsApp
      sign: true
      build-platform: darwin/universal
      sign-macos-apple-password: ${{ secrets.APPLE_PASSWORD }}
      sign-macos-app-id: ${{ secrets.MACOS_DEVELOPER_CERT_ID }}
      sign-macos-app-cert: ${{ secrets.MACOS_DEVELOPER_CERT }}
      sign-macos-app-cert-password: ${{ secrets.MACOS_DEVELOPER_CERT_PASSWORD }}
      sign-macos-installer-id: ${{ secrets.MACOS_INSTALLER_CERT_ID }}
      sign-macos-installer-cert: ${{ secrets.MACOS_INSTALLER_CERT }}
      sign-macos-installer-cert-password: ${{ secrets.MACOS_INSTALLER_CERT_PASSWORD }}
