DMG

A Flutter package helps you to create, sign, notarize and staple a .DMG with a single command.

Required

All this steps are needed for only the first app, you can reuse this setting in other apps.

Install dmgbuild if you don't have (document)

pip install dmgbuild

Create a NotaryProfile

1: Go to Appstoreconnect -> Users and Access -> Keys

2: Tap (+) to generate a new API key, input a Name (normally use NotaryProfile) and Access (noramally use Admin).

3: Download the generated file and save somewhere secure, also note the Issuer ID and KEY ID.

4: Open terminal and run xcrun notarytool store-credentials and input all the above data, you should input the name as NotaryProfile.

Create a Developer ID Application certificate if you don't have

1: Open Xcode.

2: Go to XCode -> Settings -> Account.

3: Tap Manage Certificates... -> Tap (+) -> Choose Developer ID Application -> Done.

Usage

Add this package to your dev dependency:

flutter pub add --dev dmg

Open a terminal on your current project then run:

dart run dmg --sign-certificate "Developer ID Application: Your  Company"

Change the notary profile name if you don't use the default by adding:

--notary-profile "NotaryProfile"

If you want to add a license (a window will shows up to ask for the acceptance before showing the installation for the .dmg), add this line to the above code:

--license-path "./path/to/license.txt"

You can also add your own setting.py of dmg-build by adding:

--setting "./path/to/setting.py"

Note that the --license-path will be ignored when you use your own setting.py.

Your output DMG is expected at: build/macos/Build/Products/Release/<name>.dmg.
