Problem description
ImHex runs as full trust application on macOS with a non-compliant application bundle layout.
Implementation description
This PR introduces Xcode based application bundle generation, including code signing. Using Xcode ImHex can be built into a compliant application bundle with:
Additionally, the resulting bundle can be adhoc code-signed and sandboxed by adding the CMake setting:
To make the application's bundle fully compliant fully compliant with the bundle spec the code had to be changed slightly:
Resources have moved from the
Contents/MacOS
directory toContents/Resources
, plugins have moved fromContents/MacOS/plugins
toContents/PlugIns
as per the spec.The application will still search for these resources in the original places too to preserve compatibility, and out-of-bundle build support.
