macOS Development & Distribution
Guides for building and signing the Presenton Electron app on macOS.
| Guide | Description |
|---|---|
| Direct distribution | Developer ID signing, notarization, DMG verification, and release commands for distribution outside the Mac App Store |
| Mac App Store setup | Certificates, provisioning profiles, MAS build commands, and submission notes |
Quick reference
All commands below run from the electron/ directory on a Mac.
First-time setup
cd electron
npm run setup:env
Run locally (development)
npm run dev
Build a DMG (local distribution, not App Store)
npm run build:all
Output is written to electron/dist/. The default macOS target is a DMG built via electron/build.js.
For public releases outside the Mac App Store, use the signed and notarized direct distribution flow:
export APPLE_KEYCHAIN_PROFILE="presenton-notary"
npm run build:all:mac:signed
That assumes the release Mac already has a Developer ID Application certificate and a stored notarytool profile named presenton-notary. See Direct distribution for the exact one-time setup and verification commands.
Build for the Mac App Store
See Mac App Store setup for certificates, provisioning profiles, and signing. Summary:
npm run build:all:mas-dev # development / TestFlight-style testing
npm run build:all:mas # distribution / App Store submission
