Using the example app FocusTimer, this article explains create-dmg's window size and position, icon size, and the X/Y coordinates of the app icon and the Applications drop link one by one, shows how to align the background image's pixel coordinates with the window's point coordinates, and covers how to automate this process so it can be reused for every release. https://hobbyworker.me/en/dev/2026-05-20-design-macos-dmg-1-create-dmg-and-background/ Wed, 20 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000 https://hobbyworker.me/en/dev/2026-05-20-design-macos-dmg-1-create-dmg-and-background/ When you distribute a macOS app yourself, the very first thing a user sees is the Finder window that opens when they double-click the .dmg. Using the example app FocusTimer, this article introduces the create-dmg tool, walks through preparing a staging folder that holds only the .app, and shows how to build a DMG background image that follows the @2x Retina convention while avoiding the DPI pitfall. https://hobbyworker.me/en/dev/2026-05-19-distribute-macos-app-mas-3-export-and-app-store-connect/ Tue, 19 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000 https://hobbyworker.me/en/dev/2026-05-19-distribute-macos-app-mas-3-export-and-app-store-connect/ Once you've finished the MAS build target and the configuration and code branching, it's time to set up the path for getting that build onto the App Store. Using the example app FocusTimer, this post wraps up the series by covering how to write an ExportOptions-MAS.plist for upload, register an app record in App Store Connect, and verify the build so the two channels stay unbroken. https://hobbyworker.me/en/dev/2026-05-18-distribute-macos-app-mas-2-build-config-and-code/ Mon, 18 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000 https://hobbyworker.me/en/dev/2026-05-18-distribute-macos-app-mas-2-build-config-and-code/ Once you've created a build target for MAS, you need to split the configuration files and code so that target actually follows the App Store rules. Using the example app FocusTimer, this post walks through creating MAS-only entitlements and Info.plist files, aligning the build settings, and branching the automatic update code with #if canImport(Sparkle). https://hobbyworker.me/en/dev/2026-05-17-distribute-macos-app-mas-1-target-setup/ Sun, 17 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000 https://hobbyworker.me/en/dev/2026-05-17-distribute-macos-app-mas-1-target-setup/ Shipping a macOS app to the Mac App Store requires a build target separate from the one used for direct distribution, because App Store review forbids self-contained automatic updaters like Sparkle. Using the example app FocusTimer, this post walks through registering a MAS-only Bundle ID, duplicating the build target in Xcode, and handling the cleanup burden that duplication leaves behind. https://hobbyworker.me/en/dev/2026-05-16-distribute-macos-app-3-update-hosting-and-build/ Sat, 16 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000 https://hobbyworker.me/en/dev/2026-05-16-distribute-macos-app-3-update-hosting-and-build/ The automatic-update feed for a directly distributed macOS app must be hosted at a public location accessible without authentication. Using the example app FocusTimer, this article hosts the update repository with GitHub Pages, connects it to a custom domain you control, and finishes the ExportOptions.plist and app-side configuration to complete the one-time setup for direct distribution. https://hobbyworker.me/en/dev/2026-05-15-distribute-macos-app-2-sparkle-signing-key/ Fri, 15 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000 https://hobbyworker.me/en/dev/2026-05-15-distribute-macos-app-2-sparkle-signing-key/ Implementing automatic updates with the Sparkle framework is the de facto standard for directly distributed macOS apps. Using the example app FocusTimer, this article explains step by step how to generate the EdDSA signing key that Sparkle uses to verify update files, embed the public key in the app, and safely back up and restore the private key. https://hobbyworker.me/en/dev/2026-05-14-distribute-macos-app-1-developer-id-certificate/ Thu, 14 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000 https://hobbyworker.me/en/dev/2026-05-14-distribute-macos-app-1-developer-id-certificate/ To distribute a macOS app directly without going through the Mac App Store, you first need a Developer ID certificate and a notarization setup. Using the example app FocusTimer, this article walks through the one-time setup you only need to do once: installing command-line tools, issuing a Developer ID Application certificate, and registering an app-specific password and a notarytool profile for notarization. https://hobbyworker.me/en/dev/2023-04-06-convert-text-to-filename-using-automator-on-macos/ Thu, 06 Apr 2023 00:00:00 +0000 https://hobbyworker.me/en/dev/2023-04-06-convert-text-to-filename-using-automator-on-macos/ This report explains how to create a macOS Quick Action using Automator to convert text into a filename-friendly format.
