This process is currently manual (https://wiki.mozilla.org/Packaging_Android_host_utilities). We still get a decent number of requests for hostutils updates. It would be nice if this were automated.

:nalexander got stuck in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1433279#c23, but revisit to see if anything has changed (I don't think I have any fancy creds and am able to build hostutils).

+1 for automating this.

If memory serves, the sticking point is mac signing in a toolchain task.

Ben, I hear you might happen to be looking at signing in toolchains? Any good news for Andy?

I have thought about it in the context of https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1771192, but don't have plans to do anything about it anytime soon. The idea was basically to add a toolchain-signing kind downstream of toolchain tasks though.

For a short term fix, you could model something after geckodriver-signing, which is already a signing task downstream of toolchain (just very, very specialized).
