SDK Sealing

SDK Sealing protects your iOS app through your build pipeline. You create a project in the Developer Console, download the generated SDK, and integrate it into your build — no code changes required.

Note

If you would rather protect a finished build than change how it is built, see IPA Sealing instead.

Guides

SDK Integration Create a project, download the SDK, and integrate it into your app.

App Configurations Manage service settings for your sealed iOS apps.

CI/CD Integration Automate sealing with Fastlane or Azure DevOps.

SDK File Structure Understand the files included in the downloaded SDK package.

Applying DoveRunner Mobile App Security

Prerequisites

Before creating a project, have the following ready:

• Bundle ID — Your app’s Bundle ID (e.g. com.example.myapp). This is set at project creation and cannot be changed later.
• Framework — The framework your app is built with. For React Native, know the exact version used.

Create a Project

1. In the Developer Console, navigate to iOS Mobile App Security → SDK Sealing → Projects.

2. Click + CREATE PROJECT to open the creation form.

3. Enter a project name and your app’s Bundle ID prefix.

4. Click Create Project. The system validates the Bundle ID and creates the project if the details are correct.

Note

Each project supports one Bundle ID and it cannot be revised after creation. Your app’s Bundle ID must start with the registered Bundle ID prefix.

Download SDK

1. In Projects, find the project you want to generate an SDK for.

2. Click Download SDK to open the download options.

3. Select values from the dropdowns:

   Field	Description
   App Framework	The framework used to develop your iOS app. Supports native and hybrid frameworks.
   Sealing Version	The version of DoveRunner protection to apply. Use the latest version for the newest security features.
   Framework Version	Required for React Native only. Enter the React Native version used in your project.

4. Click Download. The system validates the project and begins building the SDK. It downloads automatically when ready.

Optional Settings

Option	Description
Allow distributing without App Store & TestFlight	Disables Apple certificate integrity validation. Enable this if your app is distributed outside the App Store or TestFlight (e.g. enterprise distribution).
Do not terminate the app on detecting a threat	Instead of force-closing the app on detection, the SDK exposes detection flags you can use to implement custom responses. Activated after a successful generate_hash run on the built IPA.

App Configurations

SDK Sealing → Configurations lets you manage service settings for your sealed iOS apps. The list shows apps sealed by you or your team members.

Service

Controls whether DoveRunner Mobile App Security tracks hacking activity for the app. Usage-based charges apply while the service is active. Turn it off here if you are no longer using the app or want to stop protection.

Next Steps

After downloading the SDK, integrate it into your build pipeline and run generate_hash to complete the sealing process.
