Depends what your wall is made of. In brick or block i usually use long screws & plugs to get the thing in place then expanding through bolts once i've set the joists/rafters out

Not sure why people reckon you’d ever need resin on a top plate
I tend to whack concrete screws in to hold it up, then at a later date (before the BcO comes round?) whack some proper bolts in. It’s not going to go anywhere if it’s a vaulted roof as it’s kinda pushing onto the house wall rather than pulling away

Unless I’ve misunderstood and you’re taking about an actual wall plate onto which the rafter feet bear, in which case you strap it down
