This thread would be a good place for me to point out that if you use the
Levure framework code signing can be handled automatically whenever you
package up an application for distribution.

When building on macOS your macOS version of the app will be signed
automatically (assuming you have the proper signing certificate already).
If you have the DropDMG helper installed then a DMG can be created
automatically. If you are building for the Mac App Store then all files
necessary to upload to Apple are created.

When building on Windows the InnoSetup helper can generate a file for
InnoSetup and then automatically run it. All code signing happens during
this process (there is a one-time InnoSetup configuration). If you are
building on macOS then the InnoSetup file is created and you just have to
open it in InnoSetup in Windows and then build the installer. You can run
the installer under Wine but I haven’t figured out how to code sign with
InnoSetup under Wine.
