[$150 USDC] Packaging for macOS

[nazar-pc]

The goal of the ticket is to package the application to MacOS. This should all run in CI just like Windows/Linux packaging does.

Couple of tools that might be useful to check out for inspiration:

• https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk-mac-bundler is probably an option to try.
• https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/dabrain34/GstPipelineStudio is a GTK4/GStreamer app packages for macOS that might be used as an example.

Installation through Brew is another possibility.

I'm currently researching MacOS packaging tools available for my commercial product. If I find one that is applicable to both commercial and public domain software, I can try to use it. Does it have to be open-source?

[nazar-pc]

I think it either has to be open source or official tool from Apple, but let me know what you find.

I'll assign this issue to you for now, let me know if you abandon your attempts for whatever reason.

@RomanLabGit I'm curious if you have made any progress on this. Thanks!

I'm really sorry for the delay. I'm currently trying to get it compiled on my virtual Mojave macOS. Once it starts working, I should attempt to use pkgbuild and productbuild Xcode tools to build the package. That's my plan.
