Notarisation for the Java MacOS version #85

Closed davetcc closed 4 years ago

davetcc commented 4 years ago

The Java MacOS version should be Notarised via the apple service to ensure it is easy for users to download.

We are in communication with apple to get our developer ID status set back up, years ago we used to build iOS apps but the user account and program enrolment had lapsed. As soon as this gets sorted out there'll be a Notarised build.

In the mean time there is a workaround for those that need it:

Workaround 1: https://www.thecoderscorner.com/jforum/posts/list/55.page

Workaround 2: MacOS is very similar to Linux, you can follow the Linux instructions and build it using components readily available from homebrew.

We now have the login reinstated and working, we'll try and get something out shortly

We are now testing a version of the UI that has the powerbox runtime enabled, meaning we will be making a store submission for it soon. This makes deployment of the app even easier for most.

Update: The new Mac version is now feature-complete against the Windows and Java versions. It's going into testing starting today. We should be making a store submission within a week or two.

A new Native Mac version is going through the final round of testing now to ensure it works with a wide range of boards, it's based on the same code generator as the Windows Store version, so should be fine for all boards.

It works with the powerbox store runtime, so should actually be available in Mac Store all being well. It should support anything from High Sierra onwards. Older devices can continue to use the Java client which will be supported for quite a while yet.

Mac version is available in the store as tcMenu Designer. It is a native Cocoa app based on the same generator as the Windows Store version
