Create DMG for Mac #162

Closed justinmoon closed 2 years ago

justinmoon commented 2 years ago

When I run npm run electron:pack in the electron directory that's created when I add this @capacitor-community/electron to my project, electron/dist/mac-arm64/<my-app-name>.app is created and runs when if I click on it in Finder.

How would I create a .dmg installer which would allow user to copy the app into their Applications folder which is the standard flow on MacOS?

In this case you would need to use npm run electron:make. This should create a .dmg file (if you have specified it in your electron-builder.config.json file). npm run electron:pack only builds the app but does not create platform packages.

OK thanks!
