Mac Signing Server #3

Closed electrikmilk closed 9 months ago

electrikmilk commented 1 year ago

Currently, there is a way to try-out Cherri on any platform at playground.cherrilang.org. However, it does not have a Mac signing server yet. I am hoping to eventually host a Mac signing server.

Plan A: MacStadium Open Source Program

Apply to the Open Source program from MacStadium, which offers free Mac hosting for open-source projects, but there are some catches, meaning this project will probably need to mature more before that could happen.

Plan B: Dedicated Hosting

Pay for expensive Mac hosting (expensive for hosting) from the small number of Mac hosting options.

This is probably not going to happen. The reason it's so expensive is that you can't use a VPS server for signing Shortcuts––I have tried. Shortcut signing requires an iCloud sign-in which (unless you wanna jump through a bunch of hoops) requires a legit Mac, so we would need to pay for a dedicated Mac server, which is expensive in the first place for a Linux server, but even more so for a Mac (around $70-100/mo at least).

Darling? I tried it, but it currently does not have the ContentKit private framework, and would probably not work for signing shortcuts as iCloud sign-in is needed.

The web editor / playground is the right way to get non-technical people interested in using the language in my opinion over an app, as anyone with a web browser can use it.

I really like what the ScPL editor did, so much so that I had some minor involvement in it. However, it doesn’t support Shortcuts past iOS 13.

Here is a simple server for signing shortcuts via http and a guide on running it via docker-osx, maybe you find it useful. https://github.com/scaxyz/shortcut-signing-server

This is awesome, I will definitely give this a shot!

This has been solved in collaboration with the RoutineHub team! Huge thanks to them for setting up a server we could use to do this in the playground. ❤️
