Hi there,

I'm trying to build my app on a macbook that has a Developer ID Application certificate in the keychain that I don't want to use. It's installed for some Xcode development but I don't want to use it for my Electron app.
Is it possible to do that ? Because right now, it's picking it up automatically even if I set the identity parameter to an empty string. If I set it to whatever, electron builder will throw an error and won't build the .dmg.

Also, I tried to enter a Mac Developer certificate, but electron builder doesn't seem to find it. I believe it has to be a Developer ID Application certificate, is that correct ? If yes, how can I get one without registering an Apple Dev account and pay the $100 fees (if that's even possible)?

(Yes, I'm all lost with this certificate thing)
