# apple-codesign

`apple-codesign` is a crate implementing functionality related to code signing
on Apple platforms.

All functionality is implemented in pure Rust and doesn't require any 3rd party
or proprietary software nor do we require running on Apple platforms.

We believe this crate provides the most comprehensive implementation of Apple
code signing outside the canonical Apple tools. We have support for the following
features:

* Signing Mach-O binaries (the executable file format on Apple operating systems).
* Signing, notarizing, and stapling directory bundles (e.g. `.app` directories).
* Signing, notarizing, and stapling XAR archives / `.pkg` installers.
* Signing, notarizing, and stapling DMG disk images.

What this all means is that you can sign, notarize, and release Apple software
from anywhere you can get the Rust crate to compile. Linux, Windows, and macOS
are officially supported by other operating systems (like BSDs) should work as
well.

See the crate documentation at https://docs.rs/apple-codesign/latest/apple_codesign/
and the end-user documentation at
