"flag provided but not defined: -profile" when trying to build a MacOS release application

[philiplb]

Describe the bug:

I'm trying to use fyne-cross to build and package a MacOS application in the release mode. When I do so, I get the error message "flag provided but not defined: -profile".

To Reproduce:

Steps to reproduce the behaviour:

Run the command

version="1.0.0"
fyne-cross darwin -arch=arm64,amd64 -app-id=<appId> -release -profile <profileName> -name <myName> -app-version "$version"

With the app-id and the name being the same as in the profile.

Device and debug info (please complete the following information):

Device info

• OS: MacOS
• Version:
• Go version: 1.22.0
• fyne-cross version: 049e5347fdc18407982f9fdf2ae19c779bcedead
• Fyne version: 2.4.4

Debug info

flag provided but not defined: -profile

Usage: fyne-cross darwin [options] [package]

Build and package a fyne application for the darwin OS

Options:
  -app-build int
        Build number, should be greater than 0 and incremented for each build (default 1)
  -app-id string
        Application ID used for distribution [required]
  ...

Isn't the profile parameter only needed for iOS builds?

[philiplb]

It's asking for it if I don't give it:

Oh I remember now. Are you trying to ship it for the macOS store?

[philiplb]

Not for the App-store, but you have to sign it when you want to execute an app being distributed in a .dmg. MacOS just says that it is damaged if it is downloaded. Rightclick and selecting "Open" doesn't work, too. If I execute the app directly after building, everything is fine.

[andydotxyz]

Ah. Release mode is for the store distribution. I guess you're referring to the notarisation issue mentioned at https://docs.fyne.io/faq/troubleshoot

[philiplb]

Ah, yes, that might be :) But as I already enrolled now in the Apple developer program and created a certificate and distribution profile, I will go through this process now: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/69354021/how-do-i-go-about-code-signing-a-macos-application And see how it goes. Looks a bit tedious...

[Antiarchitect]

Seems kinda similar to me:

fyne-cross darwin -macosx-sdk-path ~/Downloads/SDKs/MacOSX11.3.sdk/ -arch amd64,arm64 ./cmd/seenday/

flag provided but not defined: -w"
usage: link [options] main.o

[andydotxyz]

The error may seem similar but it's very different - that is an error with the compilation process, but this ticket is reporting an issue with command line parameters into Fyne-cross itself
