Need help with code signing.

My app designer cannot sign his code changes. He says the only way he can sign his code is for me to give him my Admin privileges. I have revoked and recreated my certificate, hoping to get a private passkey, but there was no private passkey issued with the certificate. Help, please?

It’s hard to offer a definitive answer to this because my focus is primarily technical and your relationship with your vendors is very much a business relationship.

However, there are two standard ways to approach this. Both of them start with adding your developer to your team. From there:

  • You can set their privileges such that they can do all the work on your behalf. See Developer > Support > Articles > Program Roles for info on what’s what there.

  • You can give them limited privileges and have them send you an Xcode archive (.xcarchive), whereupon you deal with the final distribution step by loading that into Xcode.
