Enable macOS builds with ad-hoc signing in CI/CD workflows - #81
Merged
Conversation
Enable macOS builds in CI, release, and nightly workflows using ad-hoc signing (APPLE_SIGNING_IDENTITY="-") instead of requiring an Apple Developer ID certificate. This produces unsigned DMGs suitable for distribution via Homebrew Cask (which handles quarantine removal in its postflight script). Use macos-13 for Intel builds since macos-15 runners are ARM-based.

Summary
Re-enable macOS build verification and release workflows by implementing ad-hoc code signing as a fallback when an Apple Developer ID is unavailable. This allows the application to build and run on macOS without requiring a paid Apple Developer account.
Key Changes
CI workflow (ci.yml): Uncommented and re-enabled the macOS build verification job that was previously disabled
APPLE_SIGNING_IDENTITY: '-'environment variable to enable ad-hoc signing during the build stepRelease workflow (release.yml): Re-enabled macOS build matrix entries for both ARM64 and Intel architectures
macos-latestwithaarch64-apple-darwintarget for ARM buildsmacos-13withx86_64-apple-darwintarget for Intel buildsNightly workflow (nightly.yml): Re-enabled macOS nightly builds
APPLE_SIGNING_IDENTITYenvironment variable that uses ad-hoc signing ('-') only for macOS runnersImplementation Details
APPLE_SIGNING_IDENTITY: '-') allows unsigned binaries to be built and executed locally without requiring a valid Apple Developer certificatehttps://claude.ai/code/session_01LJRyPkNX753y9Q97ASPoM1
