Easily setup signing for your project with Tuist 1.11.0 Volare

Hi! 👋

I am really excited to write this blog post as we have a great new feature for you to use - and this feature is signing 🔑

So, let’s dive right into it 🏊‍♂️

Signing

Signing is one of the most complicated domains that iOS developers have to deal with in Xcode. And although Apple has introduced automatic signing feature, most teams have decided not to use it as it creates a messy environment for their team.

With the new feature, you’ll be able to put your provisioning profiles and certificates into Tuist/Signing directory and … just run tuist generate. That’s it! No figuring out how to set up the Xcode build settings as that is done for you. And as a plus your signing artifacts will be automatically encrypted with your key at master.key, so you can safely push it to your remote repository, so other team members can run the apps on a device, too ✨ You can find more info in the documentation

You can also check out an introduction video where we show you the feature in action:

Feel free to try it out and let us know your feedback! 🙂

Note that we are also working hard on automating the process of generating provisioning profiles and certificates for you. Stay tuned 👀
