title: How to code sign IPA on Linux
body: <h3>Question</h3>
  <p>How would one sign an <code>IPA</code> using a valid <code>certificate</code> from Apple on a different <code>unix</code> system?</p>
  <p>I know that normally the <code>XCode</code> additional <em>command line tools</em> can provide this functionality.
  Are there any alternative toolchains to sign an <code>IPA</code> on other unix distros?</p>
  <h3>Context</h3>
  <p>I have a finished IPA that I want to ship for some clients for publication. I don't think that they have a Mac at their disposal but they do have some <code>linux</code> that could potentially do the job.</p>
