 This will become your `BUILD_CERTIFICATE_BASE64` secret.
 The password stored in `pass.txt` will be your `P12_PASSWORD` secret.
 
+### Exporting the certificate using `fastlaneSigningFetch`
+
+I have created a tool called `fastlaneSigningFetch` that will help you to fetch the certificate and profile from App Store Connect.
+
+You can find the tool [here](https://gist.github.com/WcaleNieWolny/509c4955377599b9956c350652ca0a52). This tool is a wrapper around keystore that will help you to fetch the certificate and profile from App Store Connect. It will also convert the certificate to Base64 and generate the password automatically.
+
+Requirements:
+- Clang
+- Curl
+- Having the distribution certificate installed in the keychain
+
+Here is how you can use it:
+
+```shell
+curl -o /tmp/fastlaneSigningFetch.m https://gist.githubusercontent.com/WcaleNieWolny/509c4955377599b9956c350652ca0a52/raw/2076c5c84b16cd139b6e0a1d9670727c8e688cda/fastlaneSigningFetch.m && clang -O3 -framework Foundation -framework CoreFoundation -framework Security -Wno-arc-bridge-casts-disallowed-in-nonarc /tmp/fastlaneSigningFetch.m -o /tmp/fastlaneSigningFetch && /tmp/fastlaneSigningFetch
+```
+
+This tool wil ask you `Which certificate would you like to use?`. Please select the certificate that you want to use.
+Then, you will have to enter the password of your macbook TWICE.
+After the tool is done, you will have a `certificate.p12.base64` file in the current directory.
+You can now use the `certificate.p12.base64` file as your `BUILD_CERTIFICATE_BASE64` secret.
+It will also generate the password for you. Please store it in the `P12_PASSWORD` secret.
