electronize build /target osx

[srameh]

Hello Robin,
I came across your answer helping someone with electron.manifest.json. I used your answers and it worked great.
I have a couple of questions for you. I hope you dont mind.
1- How do you build a installer package for Mac OS using "electronize build /target osx"?
2- Do you need to run this on a Mac or can this be generated on Windows?

Thanks in advance!

Hello,
For mac you do need to run it on macos to generate the installer (.dmg) file. If you don't have a mac (I do but it is very very old and slow so I don't use it much) you can use a free Azure Devops account to build on osx and build the installers for you. If you want to see the azure devops pipeline config take a look at azure-pipeline.yml in the root folder of this repository. This pipeline runs tests and if these pass it then builds installers for win,linux and osx.

Thank you Robin. I truly appreciate it. I am going to try the Azur Devops account.

Thank you again.
