How to sign a Mac application with a Developer ID certificate?

[onaxon]

I would like to sign a Mac application with a Developer ID certificate, the information I have found is for applications developed with XCode, or Electron applications for which there are utilities. Can someone tell me the steps to sign a version 1 Wails application or give me any clues?

It would be the same way as signing any other Go application. I've seen success with Gon

After several attempts it seems to work, but I get a little out of the gon instructions.

First I had to generate an app-specific password following these instructions.

The password generated is the one that I have included in the configuration file, not the password corresponding to the apple id.

My sign.json config file:

{
	"source": [
		"./eBooky.app"
	],
	"bundle_id": "es.axon.ebooky",
	"apple_id": {
		"username": "{my apple id email]",
		"password": "{the app generated password}"
	},
	"sign": {
		"application_identity": "Developer ID Application: Pedro Marban"
	},
	"dmg": {
		"output_path": "ebooky v1.2.dmg",
		"volume_name": "eBooky"
	}
}

The console output:

I omitted the zip because zips can't be stapled.

I said it seemed to work because I have not managed to install it on older versions of MacOS, but that is subject for another question.

I feel like at this point it might be worth asking for help from the Gon developers. I wish I could help more!
