[msbuild] Remove the CodesignVerify target. by rolfbjarne · Pull Request #19490 · dotnet/macios (original) (raw)
We'll soon start signing simulator builds by default, and simulator apps
aren't verifiable (with the default signing configuration), which means we'd
need some new logic to determine when to verify the code signature and when
not to. Ref #18469.
Xcode doesn't do any signature verification during/after the build as far as I
can see.
And lastly, the verification doesn't really contribute anything important. For
device builds, the app installation will fail anyway if the signature is
incorrect (and if the signature is correct, and the verification is wrong, we
failed the build for no good reason). For App Store builds, the app store will
also complain if the signature isn't correct.
So just remove the whole signature verification.
Another bonus is that this will speed up the build. There's nothing faster
than doing nothing at all!
