## Deterministic macOS App Notes

macOS Applications are created in Linux using a recent LLVM.
macOS Applications are created on Linux using a recent LLVM.

Apple uses `clang` extensively for development and has upstreamed the necessary
functionality so that a vanilla clang can take advantage. It supports the use of `-F`,
`-target`, `-mmacosx-version-min`, and `-isysroot`, which are all necessary when
building for macOS.
All builds must target an Apple SDK. These SDKs are free to download, but not redistributable.
See the SDK Extraction notes above for how to obtain it.

To complicate things further, all builds must target an Apple SDK. These SDKs are free to
download, but not redistributable. See the SDK Extraction notes above for how to obtain it.
The Guix build process has been designed to avoid including the SDK's files in Guix's outputs.
All interim tarballs are fully deterministic and may be freely redistributed.

The Guix process builds 2 sets of files: Linux tools, then Apple binaries which are
created using these tools. The build process has been designed to avoid including the
SDK's files in Guix's outputs. All interim tarballs are fully deterministic and may be freely
redistributed.

As of OS X 10.9 Mavericks, using an Apple-blessed key to sign binaries is a requirement in
order to satisfy the new Gatekeeper requirements. Because this private key cannot be
shared, we'll have to be a bit creative in order for the build process to remain somewhat
deterministic. Here's how it works:

- Builders use Guix to create an unsigned release. This outputs an unsigned ZIP which
users may choose to bless and run. It also outputs an unsigned app structure in the form
of a tarball.

in the form of a tarball.
- The Apple keyholder uses this unsigned app to create a detached signature, using the
script that is also included there. Detached signatures are available from this [repository](https://github.com/dashpay/dash-detached-sigs).

- Builders feed the unsigned app + detached signature back into Guix. It uses the
pre-built tools to recombine the pieces into a deterministic ZIP.
