Building, signing, and publishing Electron Forge applications for Windows

▤ Summary

It was the first time I had to set up signing for an installable application myself from scratch and it took me a bit to get everything working. The major difference is, with a base level Code Signing Certificate, your clients may still get a warning that the application can’t be verified as coming from a trusted source during download. Once you’ve purchased your EV Code Signing Certificate, your issuer will mail it to you on a flash drive. You’ll probably want to Enable Single Logon to avoid entering your password for every signed file. Just go to: Gear icon -> Client settings -> Advanced tab (on right) -> check Enable single logon -> Save.
