Description

I'm not really familiar with mac ecosystem, whats the most regular way to install/distribute apps there?

  • What liblary should we use? PyInstaller, cx_freeze, etc?
  • Signing?
  • Automatization?
  • Source code packed into .app or separately in .zip/directory?
  • What about updates?
  • Is it possible to submit it to Mac app store?
