Signing workflow
- Generate a keypair:
vibe keygen -o my-signing - Package the app:
vibe package vibe.yaml -o myapp.vibeapp - Sign the package:
vibe sign myapp.vibeapp --key my-signing.key - The signing tool adds
signatures/package.sigandsignatures/publisher.pubto the archive and updates the manifest’spublisher.signingfields
Trust store
The Vibe macOS host app maintains a user-level trust store of public keys. When a signed package is opened:- If the publisher’s public key is in the trust store → Signed + Trusted (green)
- If valid but not in trust store → Signed + Untrusted (yellow, prompt to trust)
- If signature is invalid or content is tampered → Tampered (red block)
Omitting
publisher.signing is fine for development. Recipients will see an “Unsigned (Dev Mode)” warning. Always sign packages you distribute publicly.
