@mkennedy @brianokken I just tried PyApp as mentioned in @talkpython # 443 Hatch discussion....holy cow that's amazing! Not only does it build a signed exe that can run on macOS, it has a `self update` that can update in place to the latest version. This is game changing. I am going to update one of my populate #macOS #python CLIs to use PyApp instead of pyinstaller.
@mkennedy @brianokken @talkpython So PyApp is really great! (I have only one quibble and that's that you can't make an app that just installs latest version, must be pinned). But how do you distribute your new app once you build it? I wanted a way to do this for Mac so this weekend I built applecrate: https://github.com/RhetTbull/applecrate
@mkennedy @brianokken @talkpython Applecrate helps you create native macOS installer packages without all the fuss -- autogenerates the installer, click-through license, and creates an uninstaller for you.
@RhetTbull @brianokken @talkpython Oh, that’s excellent!
