The single owner of Apple developer credentials and certificates — checking what you have, explaining the types and why each is needed, creating the ones that can be created, and setting up auth credentials. Use this whenever the user needs a signing certificate ("תעודת חתימה", "אישורים של אפל") (Apple Development / Apple Distribution / Developer ID / installer), asks which certificate they need or why, has no certificates and needs to create one, wants to export a certificate as .p12…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Apple Credentials & Certificates

> **Conversational language:** talk to the user — questions, summaries, reports — in **the language the user writes in** — unless a `conversational language` is set in the hub `DATA.md` (`$APP_HUB/DATA.md`), which overrides it. This sets the *conversation* language only — content/deliverables follow the app's target locales.

This is the home for everything "identity material" in Apple development: the
**certificates** that sign your apps, and the **credentials** that authenticate
command-line tools to Apple. The goal is that the user understands *which* one
they need and *why*, has the right ones present, and can create what's missing.

Teach as you go — explain why a given certificate/credential is required, not
just the command. Other skills defer here, so be the authoritative, clear source.

## Prerequisites

- **Tools:** Xcode command line tools (`xcrun notarytool`, `codesign`) and macOS
  `security` for `scripts/apple_creds.py`; `fastlane match` (`gem install fastlane`)
  only as one of the ways certificates get minted.
- **Credentials:** an Apple Developer account — this skill is where the notarytool

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add yybd/app-factory/apple-credentials@sha256:2aca998a0139d5fe

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260929.a7fd8b7, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
