Jaap, I understand. Unfortunately I do not qualify for taking the lead. I could help with testing and even with packaging if someone instructs me on what to do and how to do it, but we still need a volunteer with some knowledge and experience on the MacOS. I'm just a user, can compile etc, but just follwing directions. May be we should put a prominent notice on the web page with the profiles of the required volunteers (MacOS packaging, Android version etc)
