### Sign apps for distribution outside the Mac App Store
If you don't plan to submit the app to Mac App Store, you can sign it the
"Developer ID Application" certificate. In this way there is no requirement on
App Sandbox, and you should use the normal darwin build of Electron if you don't
use App Sandbox.
```bash
electron-osx-sign YourApp.app --identity='Developer ID Application' --no-gatekeeper-assess
```
By passing `--no-gatekeeper-assess`, `@electron/osx-sign` will skip the macOS
GateKeeper check as your app usually has not been notarized yet by this step.

### Additional entitlements
Every app running under the App Sandbox will run under a limited set of permissions,
which limits potential damage from malicious code.
Depending on which Electron APIs your app uses, you may need to add additional
entitlements to your app's entitlements file. Otherwise, the App Sandbox may
prevent you from using them.
Entitlements are specified using a file with format like
property list (`.plist`) or XML. You must provide an entitlement file for the
application bundle itself and a child entitlement file which basically describes
an inheritance of properties, specified for all other enclosing executable files
like binaries, frameworks (`.framework`), and dynamically linked libraries (`.dylib`).
A full list of entitlements is available in the [App Sandbox][app-sandboxing]
documentation, but below are a few entitlements you might need for your
MAS app.
With `@electron/osx-sign`, you can set custom entitlements per file as such:
```js @ts-nocheck
const { signAsync } = require('@electron/osx-sign')
function getEntitlementsForFile (filePath) {
if (filePath.startsWith('my-path-1')) {
return './my-path-1.plist'
} else {
return './alternate.plist'
}
}
signAsync({
optionsForFile: (filePath) => ({
// Ensure you return the right entitlements path here based on the file being signed.
entitlements: getEntitlementsForFile(filePath)
})
})
```
