Unable to sign MacOS application from cronjob










0















I have a script that builds and codesign an application bundle for MacOS. When I run it from my user's profile, the application is correctly signed, and I can install it on other machines.



The command used is codesign -s <identity> -v <path>, where identity is found by security find-identity -v -p codesigning



But when I run the same script from cronjob, I got an error



error: The specified item could not be found in the keychain.


How it is possible to sign the application from cronjob?

          One solution could be to create a separate keychain with the codesigning certificate and pass the keychain path as an argument to codesign as:



          codesign -s < identity> --keychain < keychain path> -v < path>

            Move signing certificates from the login keychain to the system keychain.
