 This repository comes with a GitHub action that builds the GDExtension for cross-platform use. It triggers automatically for each pushed change. You can find and edit it in [builds.yml](.github/workflows/builds.yml).
 After a workflow run is complete, you can find the file `godot-cpp-template.zip` on the `Actions` tab on GitHub.
-
-Note: for macos, you will have to build the binary as a `.dylib` in a `EXTENSION-NAME.framework` folder. The framework folder should also have a `Resources` folder with a file called `Info.plist`. Without this file, signing will fail.
-
-Note: for iOS, the same should be as for MacOS, however the `Info.plist` file needs to be close to the `.dylib`, instead of in a `Resources` folder (If this is not done, the build will fail to upload to the App Store).
-
-So, in our case, the builds should be:
-
-```sh
-bin/EXTENSION-NAME.macos.template_debug.framework/EXTENSION-NAME.macos.template_release
-bin/EXTENSION-NAME.ios.template_debug.framework/EXTENSION-NAME.ios.template_release.arm64.dylib
-
-Afterwards, you want to set in the `.gdextension` file the paths to the `.framework` folder, instead of the `.dylib` file (Note that for the `.dylib` binary, the extension is not needed, you could have a file without any extension and it would still work).
-
-In the `name: Mac Sign` step, we are signing the generated mac binaries.
-We are reusing the following action:
-```yml
-uses: godotengine/godot-cpp-template/.github/actions/sign@main
-with:
-  FRAMEWORK_PATH: bin/macos/macos.framework
-  APPLE_CERT_BASE64: ${{ secrets.APPLE_CERT_BASE64 }}
-  APPLE_CERT_PASSWORD: ${{ secrets.APPLE_CERT_PASSWORD }}
-  APPLE_DEV_PASSWORD: ${{ secrets.APPLE_DEV_PASSWORD }}
-  APPLE_DEV_ID: ${{ secrets.APPLE_DEV_ID }}
-  APPLE_DEV_TEAM_ID: ${{ secrets.APPLE_DEV_TEAM_ID }}
-  APPLE_DEV_APP_ID: ${{ secrets.APPLE_DEV_APP_ID }}
-```
-As you can see, this action requires some secrets to be configured in order to run. Also, you need to tell it the path to the `.framework` folder, where you have both the binary (`.dylib` file) and the `Resources` folder with the `Info.plist` file.
-
-## Configuration - Mac Signing Secrets
-
-In order to sign the Mac binary, you need to configure the following secrets:
-`APPLE_CERT_BASE64`, `APPLE_CERT_PASSWORD`, `APPLE_DEV_PASSWORD`, `APPLE_DEV_ID`, `APPLE_DEV_TEAM_ID`, `APPLE_DEV_APP_ID`. These secrets are stored in the example above in the Github secrets for repositories. The names of the secrets have to match the names of the secrets you use for your action. For more on this, read the [Creating secrets for a repository](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/security-guides/using-secrets-in-github-actions#creating-secrets-for-a-repository) article from Github.
-
-These secrets are then passed down to the `godotengine/godot-cpp-template/.github/actions/sign@main` action that signs the binary.
-
-In order to configure these secrets, you will need:
-
-- A Mac
-- An Apple ID enrolled in Apple Developer Program (99 USD per year)
-- A `Resources/Info.plist` in the `framework` folder. Take the one in this project as an example. Be careful to set CFBundleExecutable to the **EXACT** lib name, otherwise it won't work. Also, don't put strange names in the CFBundleName and other such places. Try to only use letters and spaces. Errors will be extremly vague if not impossible to debug.
-
-For the actions you will need to set the following inputs. Store them as secrets in GitHub:
-
-- APPLE_CERT_BASE64
-- APPLE_CERT_PASSWORD
-- APPLE_DEV_ID
-- APPLE_DEV_TEAM_ID
-- APPLE_DEV_PASSWORD
-- APPLE_DEV_APP_ID
-
-You will find here a guide on how to create all of them. Go to [developer.apple.com](developer.apple.com):
-
-- Create an Apple ID if you don’t have one already.
-- Use your Apple ID to register in the Apple Developer Program.
-- Accept all agreements from the Apple Developer Page.
-
-### APPLE_DEV_ID - Apple ID
-
-- Your email used for your Apple ID.
-
-- APPLE_DEV_ID = [email protected]
-
-### APPLE_DEV_TEAM_ID - Apple Team ID
-
-- Go to [developer.apple.com](https://developer.apple.com). Go to account.
-- Go to membership details. Copy Team ID.
-
-- APPLE_DEV_TEAM_ID = `1ABCD23EFG`
-
-### APPLE_DEV_PASSWORD - Apple App-Specific Password
-
-- Create [Apple App-Specific Password](https://support.apple.com/en-us/102654). Copy the password.
-
-- APPLE_DEV_PASSWORD = `abcd-abcd-abcd-abcd`
-
-### APPLE_CERT_BASE64 and APPLE_CERT_PASSWORD and APPLE_DEV_APP_ID
-
-- Go to [developer.apple.com](https://developer.apple.com). Go to account.
-- Go to certificates.
-- Click on + at Certificates tab. Create Developer ID Application. Click Continue.
-- Leave profile type as is. [Create a certificate signing request from a mac](https://developer.apple.com/help/account/create-certificates/create-a-certificate-signing-request). You can use your own name and email address. Save the file to disk. You will get a file called `CertificateSigningRequest.certSigningRequest`. Upload it to the Developer ID Application request. Click Continue.
-- Download the certificate. You will get a file `developerID_application.cer`.
-- On a Mac, right click and select open. Add it to the login keychain. In the Keychain Access app that opened, login Keychain tab, go to Keys, sort by date modified, expand your key (the key should have name you entered at common name `Common Name`), right click the expanded certificate, get info, and copy the text at Details -> Subject Name -> Common Name.
-Eg.
-- APPLE_DEV_APP_ID = `Developer ID Application: Common Name (1ABCD23EFG)`
-
-- Then, select the certificate, right click and click export. At file format select p12. When exporting, set a password for the certificate. This will be APPLE_CERT_PASSWORD. You will get a `Certificates.p12` file.
-
-Eg.
-- APPLE_CERT_PASSWORD = `<password_set_when_exporting_p12>`
-
-- Then you need to make a base64 file out of it, by running:
-```
-base64 -i Certificates.p12 -o Certificates.base64
-```
-
-- Copy the contents of the generated file:
-Eg.
-- `APPLE_CERT_BASE64` = `...`(A long text file)
-
-After these secrets are obtained, all that remains is to set them in Github secrets and then use them in the Github action, eg. in the above Github action usage example, this part:
-
-```
-- name: Mac Sign
-  if: ${{ matrix.platform == 'macos' && env.APPLE_CERT_BASE64 }}
-  env:
-    APPLE_CERT_BASE64: ${{ secrets.APPLE_CERT_BASE64 }}
-  uses: godotengine/godot-cpp-template/.github/actions/sign@main
-  with:
-    FRAMEWORK_PATH: bin/macos/macos.framework
-    APPLE_CERT_BASE64: ${{ secrets.APPLE_CERT_BASE64 }}
-    APPLE_CERT_PASSWORD: ${{ secrets.APPLE_CERT_PASSWORD }}
-    APPLE_DEV_PASSWORD: ${{ secrets.APPLE_DEV_PASSWORD }}
-    APPLE_DEV_ID: ${{ secrets.APPLE_DEV_ID }}
-    APPLE_DEV_TEAM_ID: ${{ secrets.APPLE_DEV_TEAM_ID }}
-```
