stado credentials sparkle-key mint

Invocation

stado credentials sparkle-key mint [OPTIONS] --info-plist <INFO_PLIST> <PRODUCT>

Purpose

Mint a desktop product's Sparkle update key: an Ed25519 pair stored under role `<product>-sparkle` (`private_key`, `public_key`), with the public half written into the app's Info.plist as SUPublicEDKey. A role that already holds a key is refused without --replace, because copies installed with the old key accept only updates it signs

Required inputs and options

Input or optionContract
<PRODUCT>The desktop product, as its release manifest names it (echo-desktop)
--info-plist <INFO_PLIST>The app's Info.plist that ships SUPublicEDKey
--replaceReplace the key the role already holds
--jsonCommand option; required or optional as shown in the invocation.

Refusals

  • Before dispatch, Stado refuses a missing required token shown in the invocation, an unknown option, or a value outside a listed value set; argument-usage failures exit with code 2.
