iOS app-signing server requirements
ENTERPRISE ON-PREMISES
The policy console for Enterprise on-premises installations provides the option to code-sign an app at the same time as you apply security policies.
This section describes how to set up a Mac and connect it to the console you set up in Ubuntu/Debian: Installing, upgrading, and uninstalling the policy console. The macOS signing server can be used to sign both iOS and Android apps.
Before you can secure iOS apps with the policy console, you must:
Enroll in Apple’s iOS Developer Enterprise Program.
Set up a Mac computer with the provisioning profiles that enable you to create and distribute iOS apps. This computer acts as the iOS app-signing server for the policy console.
For details about how iOS provisioning profiles work with Blue Cedar, see About iOS Provisioning and Blue Cedar.
The Apple Developer website, developer.apple.com, is the ultimate resource for iOS provisioning advice. If you’re new to developing iOS apps, the tools and documentation on the Apple Developer site can guide you through the process.
