mac-app | macOS client with Safari extension for SimpleLogin

I am trying to release an electron app on the Mac Apple Store (mas), my electron app uses ffmpeg to render videos. In order to release my app on the mac apple store, It needs to be sandboxed, and by default ffmpeg makes calls to external libraries so I need to statically build ffmpeg and package it with my app. My code is on the 'mas-ffmpeg-fix' branch: https://github.com/MartinBarker/digify/tree/mas-ffmpeg-fix

My static ffmpeg build works before I build my app, but after running electron-builder build --mac, the ffmpeg executable now fails with Illegal instruction: 4

This is the full timeline of building/packaging/submitting my app to the mac apple store and where the error first appears:

• In Digify repo:

• clone, configure, and build static ffpmeg: “sudo rm -rf ffmpeg-mac/ && npm run download-ffmpeg”

• download-ffmpeg command is inside package.json and runs this: git clone https://git.ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg.git ffmpeg-mac && cd ffmpeg-mac && ./configure pkg_config='pkg-config --static' --pkg-config-flags='--static' --libdir=/usr/local/lib --extra-version=ntd_20150128 --disable-shared --disable-lzma --enable-gpl --enable-pthreads --enable-nonfree --enable-libass --enable-libfdk-aac --enable-libmp3lame --enable-libx264 --enable-static --enable-filters --enable-runtime-cpudetect && make && cd ..

• Check if any dylibb files in the static ffmpeg build with command: “otool -L ffmpeg-mac/ffmpeg | grep /usr/local”

• If there are any, move them to folder in desktop, run ‘otool’ again to ensure there are no dynamic libraries, rebuild static ffmpeg.

• there will now be a folder 'ffmpeg-mac' which contains static versions of ffmpeg and ffprobe

Using ffmpeg with electron UI: works Using Ffmpeg with command-line command: /Users/martinbarker/Documents/projects/digify-new/ffmpeg-mac/ffmpeg -h Works

• Build mac mass app with “npm run build-mas“
• When this command finishes it will output two files inside the /dist/mas/ folder: Digify.app and Digify-01.20.pkg (or whatever version number it is) Ffmpeg command-line check: /Users/martinbarker/Documents/projects/digify-new/dist/mas/Digify.app/Contents/Resources/ffmpeg -h Illegal instruction: 4

This is the first place the error appears, after building my mac mac-apple-store app, ffmpeg fails with this err.

• Sign built app with .sh file: “sh mas-sign-script.sh” view .sh file here
  • the .sh file will output Digify-mac.pkg
• Easier command to both build & sign: “sudo rm -rf dist/mas/ && npm run build-mas && sh mas-sign-script.sh”
• Upload the outputted “Digify-mac.pkg” file & submit to apple for review

Once this app gets published in the store, if you download it and try to run an ffmpeg command with the electron UI, it fails with this error:

I'm planning on working through the guide to deploy my ElectronJS app to the app store.

However, I'd like to test my app on a iPhone first and I have a Mac, Xcode and iPhone Simulators available.

ElectronJS App On Simulator?

I'd like to know the steps to run my Electron app on the simulator so I can test it.

I have googled but not found anything, except this (related to Swift app).

I know how to run a normal Swift app from Xcode in a Simulator, but I'm unsure how to run the Electron app.

I use the latest Electron version 10.0.3 and created a target for app and mas (mac-app-store) and I struggle with the size of the app it created.

I found already a few blog posts which cover the topics, but my app size is so unusually high, that I couldn't pinpoint the cause for my situation.

Here is a list of the sizes:

target: app

• Electron Framework (130 MB)
• app.asar (462 MB)

target: mas:

• Electron Framework (130 MB)
• app.asar (1.1GB)

Please note, that in the mas build the app.asar is double the size. First I assumed it now also compiles for the new arm64 architecture, but it's just the x86_64. What could be the reason for these huge app sizes, and why is mas double the size?

I am using Visual Studio for Mac 7.6.6 to create a Xamarin.Forms app targeting macOS (to be shared with something running on Windows). I create a new Project and select

1. Multiplatform App | Blank Forms App. Click Next
2. Configure your Blank Forms App. There are target platforms: Android and iOS. (There is nothing for macOS). Since I have not installed the build toolkits for either iOS and android, both of these checkboxes are disabled. Therefore the Next button on this wizard page is disabled.

How do I proceed? I assume there is no way to use the New Project wizard for this.

I came across an old post for starting with a Xamarin Cocoa app and using NuGet to put the Xamarin Forms functionality but don't understand the code

I could find in different places how to personalize the AppleScript icon: https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/8299/how-do-i-make-an-applescript-file-into-a-mac-app Customize Applescript app icon

Apple also talks about the resolution of the different icon in a regular Xcode app: https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/GraphicsAnimation/Conceptual/HighResolutionOSX/Optimizing/Optimizing.html

But what is the recommended resolution of an AppleScript icon app?

I have this URL

I want to develop a Mac app using Xamarin. However, when I open the New Project wizard, the Mac templates are nowhere to be found.

I saw "Missing Project Templates for Mac Apps" on the Xamarin forum, but I could not find much else about this topic online, although the answer in that thread did clear up that I don't have the SDK, but (thankfully) my Xcode path is valid.

How can I install Xamarin.Mac (or any other Xamarin SDK) for an existing installation of Visual Studio for Mac?

According to this guideline, electron app can be published to MAC App Store. Electron itself is based on chromium and node.js, and they are both based on v8 js engine which enables JIT. But JIT compiler is not allowed by MAC App Store as far as I know. So how can it bypass this limitation?

I am developing Emacs package that runs from Emacs-22 to Emacs26, and I'd like to confirm that the test passes with these Emacs.

However, since each log is long, I would like to gather the return value of each test and display it clearly at the end.

How can I write this in Makefile? The list of Emacs to be tested has been obtained in ALL_EMACS_VERS as array (22.1 23.4 24.5 25.3 26.1), and now I am running the test as follows.
