Apple recently added a new service where they will check and approve an app to not execute malcious code. It is a great security improvement, but the downside is that this adds a new step in the build system.

This project is created to make it easy to automate this process.

## Installation
1. Download the [latest release](https://github.com/Mortennn/Notarize/releases/latest)
2. Run the install script: `$ ./install.sh`

## Usage

### Example
```
$ notarize \
    --package "~/path/to/app.dmg" \
    --username "[email protected]" \
    --password "@keychain:AC_PASSWORD" \
    --primary-bundle-id "com.company.appname.dmg"
```

### Description
```
$ notarize --help

Copyright (c) 2019, Morten Nielsen.

Version: Notarize 1.0.0 NotarizeKit 1.0.0

Usage: --package --username --password --primary-bundle-id

Options:

--package Path to either DMG or zip file.
--username Email associated with Apple Connect.
--password Password for Apple Connect. Can be plain text, but it is recommended to use "@keychain:".
--primary-bundle-id Bundle id of package. e.g. "com.company.appName.dmg".
--asc-provider Specify asc provider.

--help Display options.

```

## What does it actually do?
1. Uses `$ xcrun altool` to upload the app package to Apple's servers.
2. Waits for the app to be notarized. Checks every 30 seconds.
3. Staples the app package with the generated certificate using `$ xcrun stapler staple `

## FAQ

* Notarize says the package is invalid?
* Notarize will print a UUID, which you can use to see the error log from Apple. The error log can be seen using `$ xcrun altool --notarization-info`
