To create mac-installer with codesign, you need to:

1. Have valid Apple Developer Account
2. Export these environment variables:

 $ MAC_HASH_APPLICATION_ID="???"    #  Hash for Certificate for Application ID
 $ MAC_HASH_INSTALLER_ID="???" # Hash for Certificate Installer ID
 $ MAC_DEVELOPER_USERNAME="???"              # Apple Developer account email
 $ MAC_DEVELOPER_PASSWORD="???"             # Apple Developer account password

3. Run

$ ./scripts/mac_installer/create-installer.sh -s -n

App Icon should be working just fine now:

I have sent the error log of the installation on Element.

Two more points:

1. Is it possible to make Apple use the version we embed in the binary or do we have to set that somewhere dfiferently.
2. There is an option to set a readme for the installer. What is that used for or how would the user pull that up on Apple?

We can, I'll dynamically generate it / add it to the Info.plist

2. There is an option to set a readme for the installer. What is that used for or how would the user pull that up on Apple?

We can via rtf files converted to b64 image iIrc, will investigate and do it if needed.

I think we should make this create a signed installer and application. Otherwise there is not much of a point to the target as we will likely only release signed installers.
