SignTools CI

This is a free and simple builder for SignTools. It uses a Continuous Integration (CI) provider to pull, sign, and upload any iOS apps to your SignTools.

The following providers are supported:

• GitHub Actions
• Semaphore CI

You only need to configure one provider.

Note on free developer accounts

Starting from SignTools 3.0, free developer accounts are no longer supported. Check out SignTools for more information.

Repository setup

First you need to create your own SignTools-CI repository:

1. Create a GitHub account
2. Click on the Use this template button at the top of this page
3. Give the new project a name and set the visibility to Private
4. Create the new project

Alternatively, you can also manually clone this repo into a new private repository.

Provider setup

You now need to configure a CI provider. You only need one:

GitHub Actions

1. Open the Personal access token generation page
2. Select (grant) the workflow scope
3. Generate the token

This is the token you need for your SignTools service's builder configuration.

Semaphore CI

1. Register for SemaphoreCI and create an organization
2. At the top of the organization dashboard, click on Create New
3. On the page that opens, press Choose repository
4. Authorize SemaphoreCI's app to access your GitHub private repositories in order to see the builder you just created
5. Back on SemaphoreCI's new project page, you will see your builder repository - click on it
6. Proceed with Continue to workflow setup, then click I will use the existing configuration
7. Go to Manage Settings of that repository
8. At the bottom of the page that opens, set What to build to Do not build this project (Pause project)

View your API Token. This is the token you need for your SignTools service's builder configuration.
