Securely managing signing assets in CI/CD
WHAT IT TESTS: secret handling for CI signing. OUTLINE: keep encrypted certificates and profiles in a controlled store or fastlane match repo, inject the decryption key and credentials via CI secrets, install into a temporary keychain per run.
WHAT IT TESTS: whether you treat signing identities as sensitive secrets in automation. ANSWER OUTLINE: never commit the raw P12 or its password; instead store certificates and profiles encrypted, for example in a fastlane match private repository or a secrets manager, and provide the decryption passphrase and any API key through the CI provider's encrypted secret variables; at build time install them into a temporary, isolated keychain created and destroyed per run.
