Typically, developers +testing local builds don’t need to be concerned with signing unless they are +working on an area specifically affected by macOS entitlements such as passkeys, +loading third party libraries, or adding a new process type. However, it is +good practice to test builds that are as close as possible to the production +configuration or the try server configuration. Local builds are not signed +automatically and mach doesn’t include support for running tests on signed +builds. However, the mach command ``macos-sign`` can be used to sign local +packaged builds for manual testing. ``macos-sign`` supports signing builds to +match try or production builds. + + Note: On Apple Silicon Macs, where all executables are required to be + signed, Firefox binaries will be “ad-hoc” self-signed automatically by the + linker during compilation, but this is a per-binary sign with no + Firefox-specific runtime settings or entitlements. This document ignores + automatic signing. + +To sign your own local build so that it has the same set of entitlements as a +production release requires a signing certificate and provisioning profile +issued from Mozilla’s Apple Developer account. Entitlements are used to grant +Firefox certain permissions as well as impose security restrictions when it is +run on macOS. Some entitlements are considered restricted and can only be +enabled when signed by a certificate from an account that has been granted +permission to use the entitlement, such as the passkey macOS entitlement. As an +example of the production restrictions, production builds use an entitlement +that disallows debugger attachment. Disallowing debuggers is required for +distribution because it is required by the Notarization system. When signing +locally, developers can modify entitlements as needed. + +Summary +------- + +**Production build:** requires Mozilla's official Apple Developer ID +certificate, private key, and provisioning profile. Only Mozilla Release +Engineering has access to the official Developer ID certificate and private key. +Mozilla developers can request a limited-use Apple *Developer* certificate which +can be used to generated production-like builds for local testing. See +:ref:`like-prod` below. + +**Developer build:** requires generating a self-signed certificate (to sign +like a try push is signed) or using ad-hoc signing (no setup required and only +usable locally), will have no passkey support (or any other restricted +entitlement), has fewer restrictions with respect to module loading, is +debuggable. + +Signing Your Build Like try +--------------------------- +To sign your own local build with entitlements that match what is used for try +push automated testing, generate a self-signed code signing certificate using +the macOS Keychain Access application. During the process, supply a unique name +not used by other Keychain entries making sure to not use any spaces. For +example, ``my-firefox-selfsign-cert-2024``. This string will be used as +the signing identity and passed to ``macos-sign`` with the ``-s`` option. +``./mach`` passes this to the codesign command which looks up the entry in the +keychain. When running the signing command, you'll be prompted to allow +``codesign`` to access the keychain entry. Select ``Always Allow`` when +prompted. + +.. code-block:: shell + + $ ./mach build package + $ open <path-to-dmg> + <drag Browser to the Desktop> + $ ./mach macos-sign -s my-firefox-selfsign-cert-2024 -a ~/Desktop/Nightly.app + +The entitlements in the tree used for this configuration are labeled as +developer and we call this the developer build. Developer signed builds differ +from production signed in the following ways: + +* They allow debugger attachment +* They allow loading of third party libraries in all processes +* They respect dyld environment variables +* They don’t include restricted entitlements such as the passkey entitlement + (and therefore passkeys can’t be used) + +Ad-hoc Signing Your Build - Like try Signing, but Requires no Configuration and is For Local Use Only +----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Omitting the ``-s`` option will use ad-hoc signing which requires no setup. The +build will be more limited than builds signed with a self-signed cert. Ad-hoc +signed builds are not verifiable or runnable on any other system. There is +little documentation available about the limitations. + +.. code-block:: shell + + $ ./mach build package + $ open <path-to-dmg> + <drag Browser to the Desktop> + $ ./mach macos-sign -a ~/Desktop/Nightly.app + +.. _like-prod: + +Signing Your Build Like Production +---------------------------------- +To sign your local build like a production Firefox build, you’ll need an Apple +Developer signing certificate and provisioning profile issued from Mozilla's +Apple Developer account. Developers will be given a development-role login +allowing a signing certificate and provisioning profile to be generated. The +provisioning profile used with Development certificates limits the signed +application to Mozilla developer machines via a hardware ID. Employees can file +a bug `here <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=App%20Stores&component=App%20Store%20Access>`__ +to request an account. Once the developer's Apple account is setup as a member +of Mozilla's Apple account, Xcode can be used to download a Developer signing +certificate and provisioning profile for development use. Use Keychain Access to +get the codesigning identifier for your development cert which should be passed +as the ``-s`` codesigning identity to ``mach macos-sign``: + +.. code-block:: shell + + $ ./mach build package + $ open <path-to-dmg> + <drag Browser to the Desktop> + $ ./mach macos-sign -a ~/Desktop/Nightly.app -s <MOZILLA_DEVELOPER_CERT_ID> + +Example: Re-Signing Official Nightly +------------------------------------ + +.. code-block:: shell + + $ ditto /Applications/Firefox\ Nightly.app ~/Desktop/FirefoxNightly.app + $ ./mach macos-sign -a ~/Desktop/FirefoxNightly.app + 0:00.20 Using ad-hoc signing identity + 0:00.20 Using nightly channel signing configuration + 0:00.20 Using developer entitlements + 0:00.20 Reading build config file /Users/me/r/mc/taskcluster/ci/config.yml + 0:00.23 Stripping existing xattrs and signatures + 0:01.91 Signing with codesign + 0:02.72 Verification of signed app /Users/me/Desktop/FirefoxNightly.app OK + +Example: Re-Signing Official Developer Edition With `rcodesign <https://crates.io/crates/apple-codesign>`__ Using a pkcs12 Certificate Key Pair +----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +More information about rcodesign can be found on the +`rust crate page <https://crates.io/crates/apple-codesign>`__ or +`github repo <https://github.com/indygreg/apple-platform-rs>`__.
