Dmg for mac on the RC3

[Iragne]

Hi all,

I'm currently using it for my personal project, i also update it to the rc3 by compiling the code and corrected the outdated framework. but it would be great to have an asset as part of the release of the rc3. is that possible ?

here the PR for mac
#1284

[Arne-W]

Yes sure, it would be very cool to have someone who can create a Dmg for Mac. Are you interested in building this release only or would you like top participate in future builds too?
I would like to fix the #1285 issue and the problems with the version file and then release the official 2.0.30. I hope I will fix those issues in the next 4 weeks. If you could provide an universal binary for Mac then I will inform you when I push the new Tag!

[billbonney]

I would suggest you drop building dmg and just create the APMPlanner2.app and then zip it. The dmg was only required when we were shipping the drivers that are no longer required.

This then just simplifies the build process

[Iragne]

Hello all, I would be really interested to help the project and the community. Happy to help in creating build for you and review some.

[Iragne]

@billbonney let me know if this is working,
https://github.com/Iragne/apm_planner/releases/tag/release-test

[Iragne]

Additionally i created a script for everybody to be able to do the DMG as soon as you can build on Mac
master...Iragne:apm_planner:mac-dmg

[skaman82]

Unfortunately didn't worked for me. I could open the .dmg file and copy the app into applications folder. But every time I try to launch the apmplanner2 - I get an error saying the app is damaged. MacBook Pro (M1 Pro) and Mac OS Ventura

[Arne-W]

@Iragne I created a new tag 2.0.30 it would be extremely cool if you could build a MAC release.

[Iragne]

@skaman82 let me know if this new DMG is working for you ?
https://github.com/Iragne/apm_planner/releases/tag/release-test
https://github.com/Iragne/apm_planner/releases/download/release-test/apmplanner2.dmg

[Arne-W]

@Iragne Do you still want to build a MAC release for us? I am asking because I already tagged the repo and build an appimage for linux and therefore I would highly appreciate a Mac build from you as we could put them to the download server at the same time.

[Iragne]

Hello @Arne-W , i already build it but I was waiting some addtionnal validation in that chat sorry if we get it wrong
if you want to validate the build it's that link that I updated 2 weeks ago
https://github.com/Iragne/apm_planner/releases/download/release-test/apmplanner2.dmg

[Iragne]

I'm building now the tag you mention

[Iragne]

here the link
https://github.com/Iragne/apm_planner/releases/download/release-test/apmplanner2-2.0.30.dmg
@Arne-W

[Arne-W]

@Iragne WOW - That was quick 👍 but I can't start the application contained within the dmg. Is it a universal binary or just an ARM image? I am not a Mac user just borrowed the mac of my Girlfriend for testing 😄

[Iragne]

Let me try to find the other m1 i have to check. maybe the fact that i'm building it on my mac is the issue.

[Arne-W]

@Iragne Ok I now have access to 2 mac minis - one is a m1 and one is a x86. I tried to open the dmg on the m1 and this is the result:

Do you have any Idea?

[Arne-W]

On the x86 Mac it looks like this:

Could it be possible that it is no universal binary and that the Qt framework is not embedded into the dmg package??

[Iragne]

ok i finally make it work on an other mac. sorry but i had only one working
Here the link, I will also create the tutorial because the Qt signin is a bit complex
https://github.com/Iragne/apm_planner/releases/download/release-test/apmplanner2-2.0.30.app.zip
@Arne-W

Today the build is arm64 so i can imagine so compatibility issue on x86.
I'm still working on the DMG not sure i will close by today but i will try https://github.com/Iragne/apm_planner/releases/download/release-test/apmplanner2-2.0.30.dmg

[billbonney]

There's no need for the dmg. Since you have the app bundled. Delivery of it zipped is the most convenient form.

[Iragne]

So it's here in my previous comment, now should be ARM + x86 @Arne-W

[Iragne]

here the PR that is ongoing #1297

[Arne-W]

@Iragne Very cool - thanks for your effort. I hope I will have some time tomorrow to test your builds!!

[Arne-W]

@Iragne Alright I tested your builds and they both work on the M1 Mac using Ventura without any issues. Did you sign the builds? Cause the mac did not complain about using unsigned software.
But sadly on the old X86 mac it says "the application is not supported on this mac". It uses Monterey 12.6.8 so it looks like your build still lacks support for X86.

[Iragne]

Hi @Arne-W , yes i signed with a dev build licence but i would expect the mac to ask to allow your to run the app.
Regarding the x86 i'm wondering why, I will have to chase of this mac and understand why the build is not x68 compatible ....

[Arne-W]

@Iragne Take a look at your PR I had an Idea to fix the Universal binary issue - and very cool that you signed it!

[Arne-W]

@Iragne Your build has no commit ID - do you have an idea why?

[Iragne]

Hum let me check
