Apple Developer Setup for Hanzo Desktop Releases

Required GitHub Secrets for macOS Code Signing

You need to configure these secrets in your GitHub repository settings (Settings > Secrets and variables > Actions):

1. APPLE_CERTIFICATE

What: Base64-encoded Developer ID Application certificate (.p12 file)

How to get it:

  1. Log into https://developer.apple.com
  2. Go to Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles
  3. Create/download a Developer ID Application certificate (NOT iOS Distribution)
  4. Import it into Keychain Access on your Mac
  5. Right-click the certificate → Export as .p12
  6. Set a strong password when exporting
  7. Convert to base64: 
    base64 -i /path/to/certificate.p12 | pbcopy
  8. Add the base64 string to GitHub secrets as APPLE_CERTIFICATE

2. APPLE_CERTIFICATE_PASSWORD

What: The password you set when exporting the .p12 file

How to set: Add the password directly to GitHub secrets as APPLE_CERTIFICATE_PASSWORD

3. APPLE_SIGNING_IDENTITY

What: The certificate name/identity (usually looks like "Developer ID Application: Your Name (TEAM_ID)")

How to get it:

security find-identity -v -p codesigning

Look for the "Developer ID Application" line, copy the full string in quotes.

Add to GitHub secrets as APPLE_SIGNING_IDENTITY

4. APPLE_ID

What: Your Apple Developer account email

How to set: Add your developer account email to GitHub secrets as APPLE_ID

5. APPLE_PASSWORD

What: App-specific password (NOT your regular Apple ID password)

How to get it:

  1. Go to https://appleid.apple.com
  2. Sign in with your Apple ID
  3. In the Security section, click "Generate Password" under App-Specific Passwords
  4. Create one labeled "GitHub Actions" or "Hanzo Desktop CI"
  5. Copy the generated password
  6. Add to GitHub secrets as APPLE_PASSWORD

6. APPLE_TEAM_ID

What: Your Apple Developer Team ID

How to get it:

  1. Go to https://developer.apple.com/account
  2. Click on "Membership" in the sidebar
  3. Your Team ID is shown there (10-character alphanumeric)
  4. Add to GitHub secrets as APPLE_TEAM_ID

7. KEYCHAIN_PASSWORD

What: A password for the temporary keychain created during build (can be any strong password)

How to set: Generate a strong random password and add to GitHub secrets as KEYCHAIN_PASSWORD

Additional Required Secrets (Non-Apple)

Tauri Update Signing

  • TAURI_PRIVATE_KEY - Generated with Tauri CLI
  • TAURI_KEY_PASSWORD - Password for the private key

Generate with:

cd apps/hanzo-desktop/src-tauri
npx @tauri-apps/cli@latest signer generate -w ~/.tauri/myapp.key

Windows Code Signing (Google Cloud KMS)

  • EV_CODE_SIGNING_CERTIFICATE - EV certificate for Windows
  • Google Cloud workload identity configured in workflow

Other

  • VITE_POSTHOG_API_KEY - PostHog analytics key
  • SECRET_DESKTOP_INSTALLATION_PROOF_KEY - Installation verification key
  • R2_ACCESS_KEY_ID - Cloudflare R2 access key
  • R2_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY - Cloudflare R2 secret key
  • SLACK_BOT_TOKEN - For release notifications

Testing the Setup

Once all secrets are configured:

  1. Create a version tag:

    git tag 1.0.0
git push origin 1.0.0

  2. The workflow will run automatically and should:

    • Build for macOS (Apple Silicon)
    • Sign the .dmg with your Developer ID
    • Notarize with Apple
    • Upload to GitHub Releases and R2

  3. Check the Actions tab for the workflow run

  4. If it fails, check the logs for which secret might be missing/incorrect

Common Issues

"codesign failed": Check APPLE_SIGNING_IDENTITY matches the certificate exactly

"notarization failed": Verify APPLE_ID, APPLE_PASSWORD, and APPLE_TEAM_ID are correct

"certificate not found": APPLE_CERTIFICATE might not be base64 encoded correctly

"password incorrect": APPLE_CERTIFICATE_PASSWORD doesn't match the .p12 password
