## Ad-Hoc Signing
If you do not wish to provide an Apple-authenticated identity, but still wish to sign your application, you can configure an _ad-hoc_ signature.
This is useful on ARM (Apple Silicon) devices, where code-signing is required for all apps from the Internet.
:::caution
Ad-hoc code signing does not prevent MacOS from requiring users to
[whitelist the installation in their Privacy & Security settings](https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/open-a-mac-app-from-an-unknown-developer-mh40616/mac).
:::
To configure an ad-hoc signature, provide the pseudo-identity `-` to Tauri, e.g.
```json
"signingIdentity": "-"
```
For details on configuring Tauri's signing identity, see [above](#configuring-tauri).
