match

Alias for the sync_code_signing action

Easily sync your certificates and profiles across your team

A new approach to iOS and macOS code signing: Share one code signing identity across your development team to simplify your codesigning setup and prevent code signing issues.

match is the implementation of the codesigning.guide concept. match creates all required certificates & provisioning profiles and stores them in a separate git repository, Google Cloud, or Amazon S3. Every team member with access to the selected storage can use those credentials for code signing. match also automatically repairs broken and expired credentials. It's the easiest way to share signing credentials across teams

Why?UsageIs this secure?


match is part of fastlane: The easiest way to automate beta deployments and releases for your iOS and Android apps.

Why match?

Before starting to use match, make sure to read the codesigning.guide:

When deploying an app to the App Store, beta testing service or even installing it on a device, most development teams have separate code signing identities for every member. This results in dozens of profiles including a lot of duplicates.

You have to manually renew and download the latest set of provisioning profiles every time you add a new device or a certificate expires. Additionally this requires spending a lot of time when setting up a new machine that will build your app.

A new approach

Share one code signing identity across your development team to simplify your setup and prevent code signing issues. What if there was a central place where your code signing identity and profiles are kept, so anyone in the team can access them during the build process?

For more information about the concept, visit codesigning.guide.

Why not let Xcode handle all this?

  • You have full control over what happens
  • You have access to all the certificates and profiles, which are all securely stored in git
  • You share one code signing identity across the team to have fewer certificates and profiles
  • Xcode sometimes revokes certificates which breaks your setup causing failed builds
  • More predictable builds by settings profiles in an explicit way instead of using the Automatic setting
  • It just worksβ„’

Usage

Setup

  1. Optional: Create a new, shared Apple Developer Portal account, something like office@company.com, that will be shared across your team from now on (for more information visit codesigning.guide)
  2. Run the following in your project folder to start using match:
fastlane match init

You'll be asked if you want to store your code signing identities inside a Git repo, Google Cloud or Amazon S3.

Git Storage

Use Git Storage to store all code signing identities in a private git repo, owned and operated by you. The files will be encrypted using OpenSSL.

First, enter the URL to your private (!) Git repo (You can create one for free on e.g. GitHub or BitBucket). The URL you enter can be either a https:// or a git URL. fastlane match init won't read or modify your certificates or profiles yet, and also won't validate your git URL.

This will create a Matchfile in your current directory (or in your ./fastlane/ folder).

Example content (for more advanced setups check out the fastlane section):

git_url("https://github.com/fastlane/certificates")

app_identifier("tools.fastlane.app")
username("user@fastlane.tools")
Git Storage on GitHub

If your machine is currently using SSH to authenticate with GitHub, you'll want to use a git URL, otherwise, you may see an authentication error when you attempt to use match. Alternatively, you can set a basic authorization for match:

Using parameter:

match(git_basic_authorization: '<YOUR BASE64 KEY>')

Using environment variable:

ENV['MATCH_GIT_BASIC_AUTHORIZATION'] = '<YOUR BASE64 KEY>'
match

To generate your base64 key according to RFC 7617, run this:

echo -n your_github_username:your_personal_access_token | base64

You can find more information about GitHub basic authentication and personal token generation here: https://developer.github.com/v3/auth/#basic-authentication

Git Storage on GitHub - Deploy keys

If your machine does not have a private key set up for your certificates repository, you can give match a path for one:

Using parameter:

match(git_private_key: '<PATH TO YOUR KEY>')

Using environment variable:

ENV['MATCH_GIT_PRIVATE_KEY'] = '<PATH TO YOUR KEY>'
match

You can find more information about GitHub basic authentication and personal token generation here: https://developer.github.com/v3/auth/#basic-authentication

Git Storage on Azure DevOps

If you're running a pipeline on Azure DevOps and using git storage in a another repository on the same project, you might want to use bearer token authentication.

Using parameter:

match(git_bearer_authorization: '<YOUR TOKEN>')

Using environment variable:

ENV['MATCH_GIT_BEARER_AUTHORIZATION'] = '<YOUR TOKEN>'
match

You can find more information about this use case here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/repos/azure-repos-git?view=azure-devops&tabs=yaml#authorize-access-to-your-repositories

Google Cloud Storage

Use Google Cloud Storage for a fully hosted solution for your code signing identities. Certificates are stored on Google Cloud, encrypted using Google managed keys. Everything will be stored on your Google account, inside a storage bucket you provide. You can also directly access the files using the web console.

This will create a Matchfile in your current directory (or in your ./fastlane/ folder).

Example content (for more advanced setups check out the fastlane section):

google_cloud_bucket_name("major-key-certificates")

Amazon S3

Use Amazon S3 for a fully hosted solution for your code signing identities. Certificates are stored on S3, inside a storage bucket you provide. You can also directly access the files using the web console.

This will create a Matchfile in your current directory (or in your ./fastlane/ folder).

Example content (for more advanced setups check out the fastlane section):

s3_bucket("ios-certificates")

Multiple teams

match can store the codesigning files for multiple development teams:

Git Storage

Use one git branch per team. match also supports storing certificates of multiple teams in one repo, by using separate git branches. If you work in multiple teams, make sure to set the git_branch parameter to a unique value per team. From there, match will automatically create and use the specified branch for you.

match(git_branch: "team1", username: "user@team1.com")
match(git_branch: "team2", username: "user@team2.com")

Google Cloud or Amazon S3 Storage

If you use Google Cloud or Amazon S3 Storage, you don't need to do anything manually. Just use Google Cloud or Amazon S3 Storage, and the top level folder will be the team ID.

Run

Before running match for the first time, you should consider clearing your existing profiles and certificates using the match nuke command.

After running fastlane match init you can run the following to generate new certificates and profiles:

fastlane match appstore
fastlane match development

This will create a new certificate and provisioning profile (if required) and store them in your selected storage. If you previously ran match with the configured storage it will automatically install the existing profiles from your storage.

The provisioning profiles are installed in ~/Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning Profiles while the certificates and private keys are installed in your Keychain.

To get a more detailed output of what match is doing use

fastlane match --verbose

For a list of all available options run

fastlane action match

Handle multiple targets

match can use the same one Git repository, Google Cloud, or Amazon S3 Storage for all bundle identifiers.

If you have several targets with different bundle identifiers, supply them as a comma-separated list:

fastlane match appstore -a tools.fastlane.app,tools.fastlane.app.watchkitapp

You can make this even easier using fastlane by creating a certificates lane like this:

lane :certificates do
  match(app_identifier: ["tools.fastlane.app", "tools.fastlane.app.watchkitapp"])
end

Then all your team has to do is run fastlane certificates and the keys, certificates and profiles for all targets will be synced.

Handle multiple apps per developer/distribution certificate

If you want to use a single developer and/or distribution certificate for multiple apps belonging to the same development team, you may use the same signing identities repository and branch to store the signing identities for your apps:

Matchfile example for both App #1 and #2:

git_url("https://github.com/example/example-repo.git")
git_branch("master")

match will reuse certificates and will create separate provisioning profiles for each app.

Passphrase

Git Repo storage only

When running match for the first time on a new machine, it will ask you for the passphrase for the Git repository. This is an additional layer of security: each of the files will be encrypted using openssl. Make sure to remember the password, as you'll need it when you run match on a different machine.

To set the passphrase to decrypt your profiles using an environment variable (and avoid the prompt) use MATCH_PASSWORD.

Migrate from Git Repo to Google Cloud

If you're already using a Git Repo, but would like to switch to using Google Cloud Storage, run the following command to automatically migrate all your existing code signing identities and provisioning profiles

fastlane match migrate

After a successful migration you can safely delete your Git repo.

Google Cloud access control

Google Cloud Storage only

There are two cases for reading and writing certificates stored in a Google Cloud storage bucket:

  1. Continuous integration jobs. These will authenticate to your Google Cloud project via a service account, and use a gc_keys.json file as credentials.
  2. Developers on a local workstation. In this case, you should choose whether everyone on your team will create their own gc_keys.json file, or whether you want to manage access to the bucket directly using your developers' Google accounts.

When running fastlane match init the first time, the setup process will give you the option to create your gc_keys.json file. This file contains the authentication credentials needed to access your Google Cloud storage bucket. Make sure to keep that file secret and never add it to version control. We recommend adding gc_keys.json to your .gitignore

Managing developer access via keys

If you want to manage developer access to your certificates via authentication keys, every developer should create their own gc_keys.json and add the file to all their work machines. This will give the admin full control over who has read/write access to the given Storage bucket. At the same time it allows your team to revoke a single key if a file gets compromised.

Managing developer access via Google accounts

If your developers already have Google accounts and access to your Google Cloud project, you can also manage access to the storage bucket via Cloud Identity and Access Management (IAM). Just set up individual developer accounts or an entire Google Group containing your team as readers and writers on your storage bucket.

You can then specify the Google Cloud project id containing your storage bucket in your Matchfile:

storage_mode("google_cloud")
google_cloud_bucket_name("my-app-certificates")
google_cloud_project_id("my-app-project")

This lets developers on your team use Application Default Credentials when accessing your storage bucket. After installing the Google Cloud SDK, they only need to run the following command once:

gcloud auth application-default login

... and log in with their Google account. Then, when they run fastlane match, match will use these credentials to read from and write to the storage bucket.

New machine

To set up the certificates and provisioning profiles on a new machine, you just run the same command using:

fastlane match development

You can also run match in a readonly mode to be sure it won't create any new certificates or profiles.

fastlane match development --readonly

We recommend to always use readonly mode when running fastlane on CI systems. This can be done using

lane :beta do
  match(type: "appstore", readonly: is_ci)

  gym(scheme: "Release")
end

Access Control

A benefit of using match is that it enables you to give the developers of your team access to the code signing certificates without having to give everyone access to the Developer Portal:

  1. Run match to store the certificates in a Git repo or Google Cloud Storage
  2. Grant access to the Git repo / Google Cloud Storage Bucket to your developers and give them the passphrase (for git storage)
  3. The developers can now run match which will install the latest code signing profiles so they can build and sign the application without having to have access to the Apple Developer Portal
  4. Every time you run match to update the profiles (e.g. add a new device), all your developers will automatically get the latest profiles when running match

If you decide to run match without access to the Developer Portal, make sure to use the --readonly option so that the commands don't ask you for the password to the Developer Portal.

The advantage of this approach is that no one in your team will revoke a certificate by mistake, while having all code signing secrets in one location.

Folder structure

After running match for the first time, your Git repo or Google Cloud bucket will contain 2 directories:

  • The certs folder contains all certificates with their private keys
  • The profiles folder contains all provisioning profiles

Additionally, match creates a nice repo README.md for you, making it easy to onboard new team members:

In the case of Google Cloud, the top level folder will be the team ID.

fastlane

Add match to your Fastfile to automatically fetch the latest code signing certificates with fastlane.

match(type: "appstore")

match(type: "development")

match(type: "adhoc",
      app_identifier: "tools.fastlane.app")

match(type: "enterprise",
      app_identifier: "tools.fastlane.app")

# _match_ should be called before building the app with _gym_
gym
# ...
Registering new devices

By using match, you'll save a lot of time every time you add new device to your Ad Hoc or Development profiles. Use match in combination with the register_devices action.

lane :beta do
  register_devices(devices_file: "./devices.txt")
  match(type: "adhoc", force_for_new_devices: true)
end

By using the force_for_new_devices parameter, match will check if the (enabled) device count has changed since the last time you ran match, and automatically re-generate the provisioning profile if necessary. You can also use force: true to re-generate the provisioning profile on each run.

Important: The force_for_new_devices parameter is ignored for App Store provisioning profiles since they don't contain any device information.

If you're not using Fastfile, you can also use the force_for_new_devices option from the command line:

fastlane match adhoc --force_for_new_devices
Templates (aka: custom entitlements)

match can generate profiles that contain custom entitlements by passing in the entitlement's name with the template_name parameter.

match(type: "development",
      template_name: "Apple Pay Pass Suppression Development")

Setup Xcode project

To build from the command line using fastlane

match automatically pre-fills environment variables with the UUIDs of the correct provisioning profiles, ready to be used in your Xcode project.

More information about how to setup your Xcode project can be found here

To build from Xcode manually

This is useful when installing your application on your device using the Development profile.

You can statically select the right provisioning profile in your Xcode project (the name will be match Development tools.fastlane.app).

Continuous Integration

Git repo access

There is one tricky part of setting up a CI system to work with match, which is enabling the CI to access the repo. Usually you'd just add your CI's public ssh key as a deploy key to your match repo, but since your CI will already likely be using its public ssh key to access the codebase repo, you won't be able to do that.

Some repo hosts might allow you to use the same deploy key for different repos, but GitHub will not. If your host does, you don't need to worry about this, just add your CI's public ssh key as a deploy key for your match repo and scroll down to "Encryption password".

There are a few ways around this:

  1. Create a new account on your repo host with read-only access to your match repo. Bitrise have a good description of this here.
  2. Some CIs allow you to upload your signing credentials manually, but obviously this means that you'll have to re-upload the profiles/keys/certs each time they change.

Neither solution is pretty. It's one of those trade-off things. Do you care more about not having an extra account sitting around, or do you care more about having the :sparkles: of auto-syncing of credentials.

Git repo encryption password

Once you've decided which approach to take, all that's left to do is to set your encryption password as secret environment variable named MATCH_PASSWORD. match will pick this up when it's run.

Google Cloud Storage access

Accessing Google Cloud Storage from your CI system requires you to provide the gc_keys.json file as part of your build. How you implement this is your decision. You can inject that file during build time.

Amazon S3 Storage access

Accessing Amazon S3 Storage from your CI system requires you to provide the s3_region, s3_access_key, s3_secret_access_key and s3_bucket options (or environment variables), with keys that has read access to the bucket.

Nuke

If you never really cared about code signing and have a messy Apple Developer account with a lot of invalid, expired or Xcode managed profiles/certificates, you can use the match nuke command to revoke your certificates and provisioning profiles. Don't worry, apps that are already available in the App Store / TestFlight will still work. Builds distributed via Ad Hoc or Enterprise will be disabled after nuking your account, so you'll have to re-upload a new build. After clearing your account you'll start from a clean state, and you can run match to generate your certificates and profiles again.

To revoke all certificates and provisioning profiles for a specific environment:

fastlane match nuke development
fastlane match nuke distribution
fastlane match nuke enterprise

You'll have to confirm a list of profiles / certificates that will be deleted.

Advanced Git Storage features

Change Password

To change the password of your repo and therefore decrypting and encrypting all files run:

fastlane match change_password

You'll be asked for the new password on all your machines on the next run.

Import

To import and encrypt a certificate (.cer), the private key (.p12) and the provisioning profiles (.mobileprovision or .provisionprofile) into the match repo run:

fastlane match import

You'll be prompted for the certificate (.cer), the private key (.p12) and the provisioning profiles (.mobileprovision or .provisionprofile) paths. match will first validate the certificate (.cer) against the Developer Portal before importing the certificate, the private key and the provisioning profiles into the specified match repository.

However if there is no access to the developer portal but there are certificates, private keys and profiles provided, you can use the skip_certificate_matching option to tell match not to verify the certificates. Like this:

fastlane match import --skip_certificate_matching true

This will skip login to Apple Developer Portal and will import the provided certificate, private key and profile directly to the certificates repo.

Please be careful when using this option and ensure the certificates and profiles match the type (development, adhoc, appstore, enterprise, developer_id) and are not revoked or expired.

Manual Decrypt

If you want to manually decrypt a file you can.

openssl aes-256-cbc -k "<password>" -in "<fileYouWantToDecryptPath>" -out "<decryptedFilePath>" -a -d -md [md5|sha256]

Note: You may need to swap double quotes " for single quotes ' if your match password contains an exclamation mark !.

Export Distribution Certificate and Private Key as Single .p12 File

match stores the certificate (.cer) and the private key (.p12) files separately. The following steps will repackage the separate certificate and private key into a single .p12 file.

Decrypt your cert found in certs/<type>/<unique-id>.cer as a pem file:

openssl aes-256-cbc -k "<password>" -in "certs/<type>/<unique-id>.cer" -out "cert.der" -a -d -md [md5|sha256]
openssl x509 -inform der -in cert.der -out cert.pem

Decrypt your private key found in certs/<type>/<unique-id>.p12 as a pem file:

openssl aes-256-cbc -k "<password>" -in "certs/distribution/<unique-id>.p12" -out "key.pem" -a -d -md [md5|sha256]

Generate an encrypted p12 file with the same or new password:

openssl pkcs12 -export -out "cert.p12" -inkey "key.pem" -in "cert.pem" -password pass:<password>

Is this secure?

Git

Both your keys and provisioning profiles are encrypted using OpenSSL using a passphrase.

Storing your private keys in a Git repo may sound off-putting at first. We did an analysis of potential security issues, see section below.

Google Cloud Storage

All your keys and provisioning profiles are encrypted using Google managed keys.

What could happen if someone stole a private key?

If attackers would have your certificate and provisioning profile, they could codesign an application with the same bundle identifier.

What's the worst that could happen for each of the profile types?

App Store Profiles

An App Store profile can't be used for anything as long as it's not re-signed by Apple. The only way to get an app resigned is to submit an app for review which could take anywhere from 24 hours to a few days (checkout appreviewtimes.com for up-to-date expectations). Attackers could only submit an app for review, if they also got access to your App Store Connect credentials (which are not stored in git, but in your local keychain). Additionally you get an email notification every time a build gets uploaded to cancel the submission even before your app gets into the review stage.

Development and Ad Hoc Profiles

In general those profiles are harmless as they can only be used to install a signed application on a small subset of devices. To add new devices, the attacker would also need your Apple Developer Portal credentials (which are not stored in git, but in your local keychain).

Enterprise Profiles

Attackers could use an In-House profile to distribute signed application to a potentially unlimited number of devices. All this would run under your company name and it could eventually lead to Apple revoking your In-House account. However it is very easy to revoke a certificate to remotely break the app on all devices.

Because of the potentially dangerous nature of In-House profiles please use match with enterprise profiles with caution, ensure your git repository is private and use a secure password.

To sum up

  • You have full control over the access list of your Git repo, no third party service involved
  • Even if your certificates are leaked, they can't be used to cause any harm without your App Store Connect login credentials
  • Use In-House enterprise profile with match with caution
  • If you use GitHub or Bitbucket we encourage enabling 2 factor authentication for all accounts that have access to the certificates repo
  • The complete source code of match is fully open source on GitHub

Lane Variables

Actions can communicate with each other using a shared hash lane_context, that can be accessed in other actions, plugins or your lanes: lane_context[SharedValues:XYZ]. The match action generates the following Lane Variables:

SharedValue Description
SharedValues::MATCH_PROVISIONING_PROFILE_MAPPING The match provisioning profile mapping
SharedValues::SIGH_PROFILE_TYPE The profile type, can be app-store, ad-hoc, development, enterprise, can be used in build_app as a default value for export_method

To get more information check the Lanes documentation.


Documentation

To show the documentation in your terminal, run

fastlane action match

CLI

It is recommended to add the above action into your Fastfile, however sometimes you might want to run one-offs. To do so, you can run the following command from your terminal

fastlane run match

To pass parameters, make use of the : symbol, for example

fastlane run match parameter1:"value1" parameter2:"value2"

It's important to note that the CLI supports primitive types like integers, floats, booleans, and strings. Arrays can be passed as a comma delimited string (e.g. param:"1,2,3"). Hashes are not currently supported.

It is recommended to add all fastlane actions you use to your Fastfile.


Source code

This action, just like the rest of fastlane, is fully open source, view the source code on GitHub
