I believe there are some nice applications that makes the process easier, but you can still use basic command line tools to deploy a built 4D desktop application for macOS.
if you want to create an installer package, the steps are: 1. sign the application and move it to /Applications (locally) 2. create a signed package of the signed application snippets: 1. codesign -s "Developer ID Application: keisuke miyako (Y69CWUC25B)" sample.app 2. pkgbuild --component /Applications/sample.app --sign "Developer ID Installer: keisuke miyako (Y69CWUC25B)" /Users/miyako/Desktop/sample.pkg Note: you use a different certificate for 1 and 2. (2 is an installer certificate. since this is not an App Store deployment, you use pkgbuild, not productbuild) https://developer.apple.com/library/content/documentation/IDEs/Conceptual/AppDistributionGuide/MaintainingCertificates/MaintainingCertificates.html alternatively, you could use a disk image instead of an installer package. 1. create a disk image of the application 2. create a signed disk image of the application snippets: 1. hdiutil create -srcfolder sample.app sample.dmg 2. codesign -s "Developer ID Application: keisuke miyako (Y69CWUC25B)" sample.dmg if the application or installer or disk image is not signed, it will be translocated and launch in read-only mode. https://developer.apple.com/library/content/technotes/tn2206/_index.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/DTS40007919-CH1-TNTAG17 miyako ********************************************************************** 4D Internet Users Group (4D iNUG) FAQ: http://lists.4d.com/faqnug.html Archive: http://lists.4d.com/archives.html Options: http://lists.4d.com/mailman/options/4d_tech Unsub: mailto:[email protected] **********************************************************************
