#2This is so fantastic. I wouldn't have believed it was possible had I not seen it here. I maintain multiple old OSX machines solely for this purpose; migrating to Linux for this step makes me feel so much safer for my CI build systems.

#3The only thing left to solve is to actually build cross platform. You can do with rust cross but you have to build your own docker images on macos first since apple licensing prohibits redistribution of binaries. It would save us so much money in github CI minutes.

#4How to build GUI apps for iOS and macOS with Rust ?
Can this notarize apps made with other programming languages?

xar is another tool for codesigning Mac installer packages, which runs on Linux. I've used it successfully in the past.

As far I can tell, you can compile the binary and sign your app.
# From a Git checkout
$ cargo run --bin rcodesign -- --help
$ cargo install --bin rcodesign
# Remote install.
$ cargo install --git https://github.com/indygreg/PyOxidizer --branch main --bin rcodesign apple-codesign

Good pointers indeed -
Apple's code signing tool is open source, but heavily dependent on Cocoa/OSX libraries like CoreFoundation. I'm not sure if it works with any of the open-source reimplementations of these libraries, although I kind of want to try now, just for fun - has anyone done this already? Plus, it's not Written in Rust (TM)!
`xar` only signs packages, not Mach-O binaries, at least as far as I know?
