Obtaining a Developer ID Application Certificate for Code Signing OS or OS X–Based Installers
InstallAnywhere 2024 R2
The following instructions explain how to obtain the appropriate certificate so that you can code sign your OS or OS X–based installers.
To obtain the Developer ID Application certificate:
| 1. | Enroll in the Developer Program. |
| 2. | On an OS X 10.9 or later (including OS) system, sign in to the Member Center by clicking the Member Center link on the Apple Developer site and providing your credentials. |
| 3. | Use the Developer Certificate Utility on the site and the Keychain Access application on the OS or OS X–based system to create a certificate signing request (CSR). |
| 4. | Use the Developer Certificate Utility to generate a Developer ID Application certificate. |
| 5. | Install the certificate on the OS or OS X–based machine. |
| 6. | In Keychain Access, locate the installed certificate and export it to the PKCS #12 certificate file format (.p12). When you are prompted for the certificate password, enter it. |
You can use the .p12 certificate file when setting up code signing for your helper tool and your OS or OS X–based installers.
