Re-signing iOS and Android binaries

With Updraft's feature for re-signing iOS and Android binaries, we make it possible to sign builds for the Google Play Store and Apple App Store independently and securely. Admins can re-sign app builds to change iOS certificates, provisioning profiles, package names and bundle IDs without having to create a new build.

Why is re-signing important? We offer a secure and efficient solution

With Updraft, you can re-sign not only the main app, but also app extensions such as widgets, notifications and emails. iOS app entitlements, special permissions for certain functions or services on the device can be handled easily. All data is encrypted and hosted in Switzerland on a premium cloud service. After re-signing, all sensitive data is deleted immediately.

Almost no setup required: No Xcode needed for your re-signing

For the re-signing process, you only need the files and certificates of the Apple developer account you want to use to publish the app. You can find detailed instructions on how to access these files in our documentation.
