Configuring Mac files

[wilsonowilson]

I'd like to know how we can tinker with macOS configuration files like the Podfile or Release.entitlements. Is there any way to edit files like these?

The Podfile is internally generated during build from flutter plugins. You can add macos_extra_pods argument to FlutterOptions inside build.rs if you want to add additional pods to the build, i.e.

    Flutter::build(FlutterOptions {
        macos_extra_pods: &[
            "pod 'Sparkle'", //
            "pod 'LetsMove'",
        ],
        ..Default::default()
    })?;

There is no code-signing during cargo build, so there is no entitlements file. There is bundle_tool project that you can install using

cargo install bundle_tool

and which can create self contained bundles as well as codesign and notarize them, but I haven't had much time to document it. After installing you can run cargo bundle-tool --help and see the available options.

I see. On a side note would be really helpful if there was documentation highlighting the process of building and releasing Desktop apps with Nativeshell.
