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

pip install dmgbuild

Create a NotaryProfile certificate

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

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 not affect when you use your own setting.py.

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