Re: I give up! Mac App Installer Hell
Hi Dan, Which store are you intending to submit to: Mac App or iOS App? I’ve done it to iOS a half dozen times (although the last time was probably more than a year ago) I could probably scrounge something useful together. I’ve only created installer packages for the Mac App Store (using Kee Nethery’s excellent livecode lesson “Signing and Uploading Apps to the Mac App Store” but which are, as you point out, out of date (Matthias was very helpful in helping me sort which parts to ignore and which parts to pay attention to) but I’ve only gotten to the point of creating an installer package (which I’m using to install and test the app on several different Macs) so I’ve not yet submitted to the App Store. That is the next step on my list, although this week is a write-off in terms of time, and in fact this month might be a write-off. However, if you are having difficulty creating the installer package I would be happy to send you my crib notes which are pretty brief and easy to follow.

Re: I give up! Mac App Installer Hell
I’m totally with you, Dan, but even though I’ve done it before as well. I have no idea what I did. I’ve given up trying to develop apps for iOS and stopped my Apple Developer subscription out of this frustration. Good luck! Somebody save us all!! Why can’t LC do this for us? Maybe ChatGPT??

Re: I give up! Mac App Installer Hell
I'm afraid I can't help - wish I could. But I have to say that "... tried the (out of date) LC Lesions," must be the best auto-correct failure this week. Alex.

I give up! Mac App Installer Hell
If you have a very, very, VERY good understanding of creating Mac installer files to be posted to a website for user install, and to submit to the Mac App Store, I would like to pay you to walk me through all this - step by step. I can’t take any of more this crap! Certificates, Identifiers, Profiles, p12 Files, Keys (public and private), Provisioning, Installer keys… G!!! I have an app that is tested, built and ready to go. Just need to get it signed and uploaded to Apple. If you understand all this, I would think a 20 minute Skype call should get it done. FYI… This is an update to an existing app that is already in the app store. (Don’t ask me how I got it done last time?!). I don’t know why my brain can’t grasp this…. I have read Apple’s documentation, tried the (out of date) LC Lesions, watched videos, and gone through article after article.
