# GitHub Repository Setup Guide
2+
3+
This guide explains how to set up your GitHub repository for automated builds and releases of Mac Snap.
4+
5+
## 🔐 Required GitHub Secrets
6+
7+
To enable automated builds and releases, add these secrets to your GitHub repository:
8+
9+
### Repository Settings → Secrets and Variables → Actions
10+
11+
#### For General Releases (Required)
12+
These secrets enable basic building and DMG creation:
13+
14+
- **No secrets required** for basic unsigned builds
15+
- The workflow will create unsigned builds automatically
16+
17+
#### For Code-Signed Releases (Recommended)
18+
For signed releases that users can install without security warnings:
19+
20+
```
21+
CERTIFICATES_P12
22+
```
23+
- **Description:** Base64-encoded .p12 certificate file
24+
- **How to get:** Export your Developer ID certificate from Keychain Access
25+
- **Command:** `base64 -i YourCertificate.p12 | pbcopy`
26+
27+
```
28+
CERTIFICATES_PASSWORD
29+
```
30+
- **Description:** Password for the .p12 certificate file
31+
- **Value:** The password you set when exporting the certificate
32+
33+
#### For App Store Releases (Optional)
34+
If you want to automatically upload to App Store Connect:
35+
36+
```
37+
APPSTORE_ISSUER_ID
38+
```
39+
- **Description:** App Store Connect API issuer ID
40+
- **Found in:** App Store Connect → Users and Access → Integrations → App Store Connect API
41+
42+
```
43+
APPSTORE_KEY_ID
44+
```
45+
- **Description:** App Store Connect API key ID
46+
- **Found in:** Same location as issuer ID
47+
48+
```
49+
APPSTORE_PRIVATE_KEY
50+
```
51+
- **Description:** App Store Connect API private key (base64 encoded)
52+
- **How to get:** Download .p8 file, then `base64 -i AuthKey_XXXXXX.p8 | pbcopy`
53+
54+
```
55+
APP_STORE_CERTIFICATES_P12
56+
```
57+
- **Description:** Base64-encoded Mac App Store certificate
58+

59+
60+
```
61+

64+
65+
## 🚀 How to Create Releases
66+
67+
### Automatic Releases
68+
69+
1. **Create a Git tag:**
70+
```bash
71+
git tag v1.0.0
72+
git push origin v1.0.0
73+
```
74+
75+
2. **GitHub Actions will automatically:**
76+
- Build the app
77+
- Run tests
78+
- Create DMG installer
79+
- Generate release notes
80+
- Upload to GitHub Releases
81+
82+
### Manual Builds
83+
84+
For development/testing builds:
85+
86+
1. **Push to any branch** - Creates unsigned build artifacts
87+
2. **Push to main** - Creates App Store build (if configured)
88+
3. **Push tags** - Creates full release with DMG
89+
90+
## 📋 Workflow Overview
91+
92+
The GitHub Actions workflow includes three jobs:
93+
94+
### 1. Build and Test Job
95+
- **Triggers:** All pushes and pull requests
96+
- **Actions:**
97+
- Builds debug version
98+
- Runs unit tests
99+
- Creates unsigned release build
100+
- Uploads artifacts for download
101+
102+
### 2. Release Job
103+
- **Triggers:** Git tags (v*.*.*)
104+
- **Actions:**
105+
- Builds signed release
106+
- Creates professional DMG installer
107+
- Generates release notes
108+
- Creates GitHub release
109+
- Uploads DMG for distribution
110+
111+
### 3. App Store Job
112+
- **Triggers:** Main branch and tags
113+
- **Actions:**
114+
- Builds App Store version
115+
- Uploads to App Store Connect (if configured)
116+
117+
## 🛠️ Local Development Builds
118+
119+
To create a DMG locally:
120+
121+
```bash
122+
# Build and create DMG
123+
./scripts/create_dmg.sh
124+
125+
# The DMG will be created in dist/ folder
126+
open dist/
127+
```
128+
129+
## 📦 Release Strategy
130+
131+
### Version Numbering
132+
- Use semantic versioning: `v1.0.0`, `v1.1.0`, `v2.0.0`
133+
- Pre-releases: `v1.0.0-beta.1`, `v1.0.0-alpha.1`
134+
135+
### Release Frequency
136+
- **Major releases** (v2.0.0): New features, breaking changes
137+
- **Minor releases** (v1.1.0): New features, no breaking changes
138+
- **Patch releases** (v1.0.1): Bug fixes only
139+
140+
### Release Process
141+
1. Update CHANGELOG.md with new version
142+
2. Commit changes to main branch
143+
3. Create and push git tag
144+
4. GitHub Actions handles the rest!
145+
146+
## 🔍 Monitoring Builds
147+
148+
### Check Build Status
149+
- Visit your repository's "Actions" tab
150+
- Monitor build progress and logs
151+
- Download artifacts for testing
152+
153+
### Build Artifacts
154+
- **Unsigned builds:** Available for 7 days
155+
- **Release DMGs:** Available for 90 days
156+
- **GitHub Releases:** Permanent until deleted
157+
158+
## 🐛 Troubleshooting
159+
160+
### Common Issues
161+
162+
**Build fails with signing errors:**
163+
- Check that certificate secrets are properly base64 encoded
164+
- Verify certificate password is correct
165+
- Ensure certificate hasn't expired
166+
167+
**DMG creation fails:**
168+
- Check that `scripts/create_dmg.sh` is executable
169+
- Verify all required files exist (README.md, LICENSE)
170+
- Check disk space on GitHub runner
171+
172+
**App Store upload fails:**
173+
- Verify App Store Connect API credentials
174+
- Check bundle ID matches App Store Connect
175+
- Ensure app version is incremented
176+
177+
### Getting Help
178+
179+
1. **Check build logs** in GitHub Actions
180+
2. **Review secrets** are properly configured
181+
3. **Test locally** using the build scripts
182+
4. **Open an issue** if problems persist

36+
./scripts/create_dmg_simple.sh
37+

48+
49+
## 🔧 Issue Resolution
50+
51+
### Original Problem: DMG Styling Errors
52+
- **Issue:** AppleScript styling failed with Finder errors
53+
- **Solution:** Created robust fallback system
54+
- **Outcome:** Always produces working DMG installer
55+
56+
### Two-Tier Approach:
57+
1. **Primary:** Advanced DMG with styling (`create_dmg.sh`)
58+
2. **Fallback:** Simple reliable DMG (`create_dmg_simple.sh`)
59+
3. **CI/CD:** Automatically tries both, ensures success
60+
61+
## 📦 Current Status
62+
63+

72+
```bash
73+
open dist/MacSnap-Installer-1.0.0.dmg
74+

75+
```
76+
77+
2. **Setup GitHub Secrets** (for signed releases):
78+
- `CERTIFICATES_P12` - Developer certificate
79+
- `CERTIFICATES_PASSWORD` - Certificate password
80+
81+
3. **Create First Release:**
82+
```bash
83+
git add .
