Code Signing and Notarization (macOS)

To build a signed and notarized DMG for distribution:

1. Set up your Apple Developer credentials:

   export APPLE_ID="[email protected]"
   export APPLE_ID_PASSWORD="xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx"  # App-specific password
   export APPLE_TEAM_ID="XXXXXXXXXX"
   

2. Build, sign, and notarize:

   # Build both architectures (Intel + Apple Silicon)
   npm run build:mac:dmg -- --x64 --arm64
   
   # Or build them separately
   npm run build:mac:dmg -- --x64    # Intel only
   npm run build:mac:dmg -- --arm64  # Apple Silicon only
   

   This will automatically:

   • Build the application for specified architecture(s)
