Package MSBuild Structured Log Viewer for macOS #322

Now that macOS version works really well (I use it daily!) it would be great if it could be packaged up into a .app, or some appropriate way of distributing for macOS. Perhaps it's more suited to homebrew and not a .app 🤷‍♂️.

I was initially looking at this: https://github.com/egramtel/dotnet-bundle

Thought I would get some feedback before starting work.

Yes, packaging for distribution would be wonderful. I'm going to do some research but feel free to get started, anything you learn will be valuable. https://github.com/egramtel/dotnet-bundle looks like the right way to do it.

I also found a couple examples:

https://github.com/VitalElement/AvalonStudio/blob/e4122e4a64576473143bb00600da17a2fc370262/packages/package-osx.sh They have an Info.plist and they're just creating an archive here.

Automatic updates can be done via Sparkle https://github.com/Deadpikle/macOS.SparkleUpdater.Avalonia

From https://gitter.im/AvaloniaUI/Avalonia:

@KirillOsenkov If you want to use the popular Sparkle (https://github.com/sparkle-project/Sparkle) mechanism for updating your app, I've got directions on how to integrate that with Avalonia on a repo here: https://github.com/Deadpikle/macOS.SparkleUpdater.Avalonia
There are also instructions on packing a macOS app here: avaloniaui.net/docs/packing/macOS
If you want a cross-platform update mechanism, technically the latest dev branch of https://github.com/Deadpikle/NetSparkle would work with some effort on your part; notably, I don't have an Avalonia UI built out for it yet.
