packaging-notarization

# Packaging & Notarization ## Quick Start Use this skill when the work is about shipping the app rather than merely running it locally: archives, exported app bundles, notarization readiness, hardened runtime, or distribution validation. ## Workflow 1. Confirm the distribution goal. - Local archive validation - Signed distributable app - Notarization troubleshooting 2. Inspect the artifact. - Validate app bundle structure. - Check nested frameworks, helper tools, and entitlements. 3. Inspect signing and runtime prerequisites. - Hardened runtime - Signing identity - Nested code signatures - Required entitlements 4. Explain notarization readiness or failure. - Separate packaging issues from trust-policy symptoms. - Point to the minimum follow-up validation commands. ## Guardrails - Do not present notarization as required for ordinary local debug runs. - Call out when you lack the actual exported artifact and are inferring from project settings. - Keep advice concrete and verifiable. ## Output Expectations Provide: - what artifact or settings were inspected - whether the app looks distribution-ready - the top missing prerequisite or failure mode - the next validation or repair step
