@fnet/xcode-cert-inspector
The project @fnet/xcode-cert-inspector leverages Node.js to inspect and describe the Xcode code signing certificates on a system. It works by using the security
command from macOS to find certificates, and then analyzes and presents detailed information about each one.
Main Purposes
Retrieving Code Signing Certificates: The primary function of the module is to retrieve all available code signing certificates on a given system. It uses the
security find-identity
command to find these certificates.Gathering Detailed Information: This tool extracts and presents comprehensive information about each certificate discovered on the system. This includes the key information about the certificate details, such as the certificate's subject, the Organizational Unit, validity dates, and whether a certificate has expired or is near expiration.
Supports Team ID Identification: The tool can identify the Team ID by extracting the Organizational Unit (OU) from the certificates.
Specific Certificate Types: It can identify Cloud Managed certificates and categorize them accordingly.
Certificate Platforms and Types: This module can categorize by platforms (iOS, macOS) and by types of certificates (development or distribution).
Functionality
This module is majorly comprised of three main functions:
- The index function invokes the main utility function that delivers all code signing certificates available on the system.
- getCertificateDetails function fetches the details of a specific code signing certificate.
- parseCertificateDetails function parses the details from a certificate object.
This module can be a strong instrument for developers working on macOS and iOS projects, system administrators managing code signing certificates, or simply for anyone who needs to check, manage and understand the various details related to Xcode code signing certificates. The functionality of this module can fit into larger applications, serving as a utility to fetch and parse certificate data when required.
