Very timely.

I'm in the middle of trying to work out how to do this for an Electron app built using Electron.Net and it's a bit of a nightmare.

Different steps, but looking for the same outcome.

Thanks.



I’m not going to say I’m an expert, but I’ve cataloged every electron error and show-stopper for an app I’ve built and deployed on windows/macOS for 5 years. Feel free to get in touch with me if you’d like help, or maybe just a slack channel where you can scream into the void. Best of luck, this stuff is CHALLENGING.


i am currently in Apple code signing and notarizing hell for https://github.com/smol-ai/GodMode :(


macdeployqt (which comes with Qt) has support for those things. Are you using that utility? There are other options, but macdeployqt has a nice combination of switches like -dmg, -sign-for-notarization, -appstore-compliant, etc.

But, yes, it is hell.


i don't because i'm using electron instead of Qt. but honestly at this point i'll do anything to make it just build properly for all devices.


I'm happy to help over email or video call. Need to get through this hurricane but let me know if you need help. Chris @ Vivoh plus the dot com.


thank you! have a safe hurricane. will email
