[FEATURE REQUEST] Code Signing? #46

I'm sure this is impossible but it would be awesome if the compiled product could have a code signature added.

It's possible and has apparently been done at least on MacOS, search for "signing" on archives of the par@perl.org mailing list, e.g. https://www.mail-archive.com/par@perl.org/ However, the signing process itself is definitely not a goal for PAR::Packer, only removing technical hurdles or adding a few lines of documentation (as was the case for MacOS).

Yes, it is possible and easy to do. You can codesign it as a part of an .app bundle, or codesign it directly. To codesign is as part of an .app bundle:

Download the utility available in this repository contrib/pp_osx_codesign_fix
Generate the executable your usual way
Fix executable for code signing by running the downloaded utility
Codesign the .app bundle with patched executable. From command line: $ codesign --deep --options runtime --timestamp -s "Developer ID A" //myApp.app (where "Developer ID A" is your certificate)
