Preparing the app to be published to Mac AppStore

[ameshkov]

Figure out the following:

• How to prepare the app to be published to Mac AppStore
• Is it possible to have a beta tester's channel there? If not, what are the options for beta testers?
• What metadata do we need to supply in order to get the app published. Post the list here, we'll start preparing it.

It seems that the only viable option to distribute a beta version is to use Squirrel:

What metadata do we need to supply in order to get the app published. Post the list here, we'll start preparing it.

• Title (required)
• Subtitle (optional)
• Description (required for new locale)
• Promotional text (optional)
• Keywords (required for new locale)
• What's new Text (required for new locale)
• Support URL (required for new locale)
• Privacy policy URL (required for new locale)
• App Previews (optional)
• Software screenshots (optional)
• App Store Icon (required)

Since this will initial uploading, we must provide all fields marked as required for new locale.

Let's provide some screenshots, though:

One of the following, with a 16:10 aspect ratio.
1280 x 800 pixels
1440 x 900 pixels
2560 x 1600 pixels
2880 x 1800 pixels

• Title will be AdGuard for Safari

Everything else needs to be prepared, summoning @vbagirov here

Also we need to make sure that the application is displayed correctly in the Dark mode of the new macOS Mojave

Is it possible to have a beta tester's channel there? If not, what are the options for beta testers?

This part of the issue moved here #14

@timirila1 one more thing about this issue: what kind of distributive does Mac AppStore require?

Verify that the one we build at the moment is enough to publish the app.
