[PARKED] (DO NOT MERGE) support for MAS Mac App Store
Currently fails. See: https://github.com/readium/readium-desktop/issues/97#issuecomment-618898849
Daniel - I have recent experience of jumping through the latest Catalina notarisation hoops for Apple. If you need help let me know!
Thanks Ken. The problems we are experiencing are specific to Electron, but generally-speaking the MAS process can fail at various points in the build chain, and the error feedback from Apple's tooling / server is pretty sparse (dare I say, "useless" at times). Oh, and setting up the correct entitlements + provisioning profiles depending on the build type is pretty cumbersome :)
MAS is not a super high priority for Thorium right now, but we would like figure-out what the blockers are (if any). Thorium ships a couple of native NodeJS libraries which can be problematic, if improperly signed or handled in the sandbox context of a MAS app. There are also Electron APIs that simply do not pass the MAS compliance filter ("single instance lock", for example). Plus, the readium-desktop SDK launches its own HTTP(S) server on a localhost port, so there's that as well.
Fun stuff ;)
