 - `APPLE_CERTIFICATE_PASSWORD` — The password you used to export the certificate.
 - `APPLE_ID` — The Apple ID used to notarize the application. If this environment variable is provided, `APPLE_PASSWORD` and `APPLE_TEAM_ID` must also be set. Alternatively, `APPLE_API_KEY` and `APPLE_API_ISSUER` can be used to authenticate.
