kandi X-RAY | macdeployqt-universal Summary

macdeployqt-universal is a C++ library. macdeployqt-universal has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities and it has low support. You can download it from GitHub.

With Apple transition from Intel to Apple Silicon (arm64) CPUs, developers have to deal with Universal binaries in macOS (again) in order to support their apps running smoothly on both architectures. For Qt developers things get much more complicated because we have to take care of signing, notarization and Universal binaries creation without using XCode. This article explains how we at CrystalIDEA are currently deploying macOS versions of our apps. We hope that it can be useful for other indie developers and the Qt development community. Let's also hope that Qt Creator will simplify things in future (QTBUG-85279). The build process takes place on Intel machine using Qt 5.15.2 (migrating to Qt 6 is not possible for us because it doesn't support macOS 10.13 and Windows 7). Currently we're using macOS 10.15.7 (Catalina) and XCode 12.4. Disclaimer: the described process is unlikely to be optimal, any improvement ideas and comments are welcome.

Vulnerabilities

Install macdeployqt-universal

We use codesign_entitlements.plist to disable Library Validation Entitlement.
Compile release configurations of your app for both arm64 and x86_64. They should be located in different folders e.g. release/youApp.app and release-arm/youApp.app. Use Qt Creator different kits and build configurations to compile for x86_64 and arm64 binaries of your app separately. See example screenshots for more information.
Once both binaries are compiled, run macdeployqt on both to integrate correspondent Qt frameworks:
Run makeuniversal to merge folders into a universal binary:
Sign the universal binary:
Notarize the binary using xcnotary:
