signingIdentity - Signing identity
Input alias: iosSigningIdentity. string. Optional. Use when signMethod = id.
Overrides the signing identity that will be used to sign the build. If the value is empty, the setting in the Xcode project will be used. You may need to select signingUnlockDefaultKeychain if you use this option.
signingUnlockDefaultKeychain - Unlock default keychain
