I have received an iPhone application developed for the company I work for by an outsourcing company. I do not have access to the source, only a compiled binary. I want to be able to sign it using our certificate, provisioning info, etc so I can submit it to the app store. How do I go about doing this? I’m aware of the existence of the codesign but can’t really grok how to use it properly for iPhone from the man page.

    After you have a distribution certificate created and installed, you can codesign from the Terminal like so:

    cd <path to folder containing YourApp.app>

/usr/bin/codesign -f -s "iPhone Distribution: Your Company Name" --resource-rules=<full_path_to>/YourApp.app/ResourceRules.plist <full_path_to>/YourApp.app

    This is what Xcode does when it signs an app.
