Add macOS Mac App Store build instructions to README.md

This commit introduces a new section in the README.md detailing the process for building and signing a macOS package for the Mac App Store. It includes requirements for Apple Developer accounts, a manual setup guide for certificates and provisioning profiles, and a command to build the signed upload package. Additionally, it provides instructions for uploading the package to App Store Connect for review.

+# kdsingleapplication-qt6 (local Homebrew formula)
+
+This directory exists to keep any supporting files for the local Homebrew formula
+next to it (e.g. patches or notes).
+
+## Install (from this Strawberry repo)
+
+From the repo root:
+
+```bash
+brew tap strawberry/local "file://$PWD"
+brew install strawberry/local/kdsingleapplication-qt6
+```
+
+## Why it exists
+
+Strawberry’s build requires the CMake package `KDSingleApplication-qt6`, but it is
+not consistently available via Homebrew core. Shipping a local formula makes the
+dependency easy to install for anyone building this repo on macOS.
+
+## Note for local development
+
+Homebrew taps are Git clones, so the formula must be committed (or pushed to a remote)
+to be visible to `brew tap`.

+Homebrew core does not currently ship `libgpod`, but Strawberry can optionally use it
+to support **classic iPod** devices (via `libgpod-1.0` + `gdk-pixbuf-2.0`).
+
+This formula is pinned to a known-good upstream snapshot and disables Linux-specific

+# `macdeploycheck` (local Homebrew formula)
+
+This repository includes a small helper tool called `macdeploycheck`, packaged as a local Homebrew formula.
+
+## What it does
+
+`macdeploycheck` scans a built `.app` bundle and flags common **accidental runtime dependencies** on:
+
+- Homebrew paths like `/opt/homebrew/...` or `/usr/local/...`
+- MacPorts paths like `/opt/local/...`
+
+These dependencies usually mean the `.app` is **not self-contained** and may fail to run on other machines or fail notarization validation.
+
+## Install (via this repo's tap)
+
+From the Strawberry repo root:
+
+```bash
+brew tap strawberry/local "file://$PWD"
+brew install strawberry/local/macdeploycheck
+```
+
+Or use the repo `Brewfile`:
+
+```bash
+brew bundle --file Brewfile
+```
+
+## Use
+
+```bash
+macdeploycheck /path/to/Strawberry.app
+```
+
+It exits non-zero if it finds external runtime deps.

+## macOS signing + notarization (Developer ID distribution)
+
+This repo includes `build_tools/macos/build_sign_notarize.sh` to automate:
+
+- build → (optional deploy) → codesign → notarize → staple → verify
+
+### One-time setup (Apple Developer)
+
+- **Install certificates**:
+  - In the Apple Developer portal, create (or download) a **Developer ID Application** certificate.
+  - Install it into your login keychain (Xcode can manage this via **Xcode → Settings → Accounts**).
+
+- **Provisioning profiles**:
+  - For **Developer ID distribution (outside the Mac App Store)**, you typically **do not need a provisioning profile**.
+  - You *do* need profiles if you are building a **Mac App Store**-signed app (not what this repo’s scripts target).
+
+- **Notarization credentials**:
+  - Create a `notarytool` keychain profile (recommended) so you don’t have to pass secrets on the command line:
+
+```bash
+# NOTE: <profile-name> is a positional argument (not a flag).
+# Pick any name you want, e.g. "strawberry-notary".
+xcrun notarytool store-credentials "<profile-name>" \
+  --apple-id "<your-apple-id>" \
+  --team-id "<TEAMID>" \
+  --password "<app-specific-password>"
+```
+
+### Listing what’s installed locally
+
+Run with no args to list local signing identities + notarytool profiles:
+
+```bash
+./build_tools/macos/build_sign_notarize.sh
+```
+
+### Build + sign + notarize
+
+```bash
+./build_tools/macos/build_sign_notarize.sh --run --release --clean --deploy \
+  --identity "Developer ID Application: Your Name (TEAMID)" \
+  --notary-profile "<profile-name>"
+```
+
+### Build + sign + notarize + DMG (recommended for public distribution)
+
+This produces:
+
+- a notarized `strawberry.app` (stapled)
+- a notarized `strawberry-notarize.zip` (useful for Sparkle / downloads)
+- a notarized `strawberry-*.dmg` (stapled)
+
+```bash
+./build_tools/macos/build_sign_notarize.sh --run --release --clean --deploy --dmg \
+  --identity "Developer ID Application: Your Name (TEAMID)" \
+  --notary-profile "<profile-name>"
+```
+
+## macOS Mac App Store (MAS) build + signed PKG
+
+This repo includes `build_tools/macos/build_mas_pkg.sh` to automate:
+
+- build (MAS mode) → deploy (bundle deps) → embed provisioning profile → codesign → `productbuild` a signed `.pkg`
+
+### Requirements (Apple Developer)
+
+- An App Store Connect app record with bundle id **`com.dryark.strawberry`** (or your own).
+- A **Mac App Store provisioning profile** for that App ID.
+- Signing identities installed in your Keychain:
+  - **Apple Distribution** (for the `.app`)
+  - **3rd Party Mac Developer Installer** (for the `.pkg`)
+
+Tip: list what you have installed:
+
+```bash
+security find-identity -p codesigning -v
+security find-identity -p basic -v
+ls -la "$HOME/Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning Profiles" | head -n 50
+```
+
+### Manual setup guide (certificates, Keychain Access, profiles)
+
+See: `build_tools/macos/README_MAS.md`
+
+### Build the signed upload PKG
+
+```bash
+./build_tools/macos/build_mas_pkg.sh --run --release --clean \
+  --codesign-identity "Apple Distribution: Your Name (TEAMID)" \
+  --installer-identity "3rd Party Mac Developer Installer: Your Name (TEAMID)" \
+  --provisionprofile "$HOME/Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning Profiles/XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX.provisionprofile"
+```
+
+Output:
+
+- `cmake-build-macos-release-mas/strawberry.app`
+- `cmake-build-macos-release-mas/strawberry-mas.pkg`
+
+### Upload + submit for review
+
+- Upload the `.pkg` using Apple’s **Transporter** app (App Store Connect), or with `iTMSTransporter`.
+- In App Store Connect, wait for processing, select the build, then **Submit for Review**.

+# Mac App Store (MAS) submission guide (manual steps)
+
+This repo supports a **Mac App Store build mode** (`BUILD_FOR_MAC_APP_STORE=ON`) and includes scripts to build a signed upload `.pkg`.
+
+If you’re blocked because `security find-identity` only shows **Developer ID** and not **Apple Distribution / Installer**, follow the steps below.
+
+---
+
+## Open Keychain Access (macOS “hidden” Utilities)
+
+Any of these work:
+
+- **Spotlight**: press `⌘ + Space` → type **Keychain Access** → Enter
+- **Finder**: Applications → Utilities → **Keychain Access**
+- **Terminal**:
+
+```bash
+open -a "Keychain Access"
+```
+
+---
+
+## The core issue: certificate exists but is not a usable identity
+
+If you see certificates like:
+
+- `Apple Distribution: ...`
+- `3rd Party Mac Developer Installer: ...`
+
+but `security find-identity` does **not** list them, then the certificate is present but **the private key is missing** (or not paired / in the wrong keychain).
+
+You can confirm with:
+
+```bash
+./build_tools/macos/check_signing_identities.sh
+```
+
+---
+
+## Step 1 — Create the private keys on this Mac (CSR)
+
+1. Open **Keychain Access**
+2. Menu: **Keychain Access → Certificate Assistant → Request a Certificate From a Certificate Authority…**
+3. Fill:
+   - **User Email Address**: your Apple ID email
+   - **Common Name**: e.g. `Dry Ark LLC` (any label is fine)
+   - **CA Email Address**: leave blank
+   - Select: **Saved to disk**
+4. Save the CSR (`.certSigningRequest`) somewhere safe

+This CSR step is what creates the **private key** locally in your login keychain.
+
+---
+
+## Step 2 — Create + download the certificates (Apple Developer portal)
+
+In Apple Developer → **Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles** → **Certificates** → **+**:
+
+- Create **Apple Distribution** (use the CSR you just made)
+- Create **Mac Installer Distribution** (or “3rd Party Mac Developer Installer”, wording varies) (use a CSR)
+
+Download the resulting `.cer` files.
+
+---
+
+## Step 3 — Install certificates into your login keychain
+
+Double-click each downloaded `.cer` to install it.
+
+Then in **Keychain Access → login → My Certificates**:
+
+- Find **Apple Distribution: ...** and **expand it**
+  - You must see a **private key** under it.
+- Find **... Installer ...** and expand it
+  - You must see a **private key** under it.
+
+If there’s no private key under the certificate, it will not be usable for signing on this Mac.
+
+---
+
+## Step 4 — Verify identities from the CLI
+
+```bash
+security find-identity -p codesigning -v
+security find-identity -p basic -v
+./build_tools/macos/check_signing_identities.sh
+```
+
+Expected:
+
+- `Apple Distribution: ...` shows up under **codesigning**
+- `... Installer ...` shows up as an **installer identity** (used to sign upload `.pkg`)
+
+---
+
+## Step 5 — Create + install the provisioning profile (Mac App Store)
+
+In Apple Developer → **Profiles** → **+**:
+
+- Platform: **macOS**
+- Type: **Mac App Store**
+- App ID: `com.dryark.strawberry` (or your own bundle id)
+- Select the **Apple Distribution** certificate
+- Generate + Download
+
+Install it by double-clicking it, or place it under:
+
+`~/Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning Profiles/`
+
+---
+
+## Step 6 — Build the signed upload package (.pkg)
+
+This repo provides:
+
+- `build_tools/macos/build_mas_pkg.sh` (build → deploy → embed profile → sign → productbuild)
+
+Example:
+
+```bash
+./build_tools/macos/build_mas_pkg.sh --run --release --clean \
+  --codesign-identity "Apple Distribution: Dry Ark LLC (7628766FL2)" \
+  --installer-identity "3rd Party Mac Developer Installer: Dry Ark LLC (7628766FL2)" \
+  --provisionprofile "$HOME/Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning Profiles/XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX.provisionprofile"
+```
+
+Outputs:
+
+- `cmake-build-macos-release-mas/strawberry.app`
+- `cmake-build-macos-release-mas/strawberry-mas.pkg`
+
+---
+
+## Step 7 — Upload + submit for review
+
+- Upload the `.pkg` using Apple’s **Transporter** app (App Store Connect).
+- In App Store Connect, wait for processing, select the build, then **Submit for Review**.

+Developer: @DEVELOPER@
+Date: @DATE@
+Contact: @CONTACT@
+
+Statement
+---------
+This app uses encryption only for standard network communications security (for example, TLS/HTTPS connections to web services).
+
+The app does not implement proprietary or non-standard encryption algorithms, and it does not ship its own cryptographic library in place of Apple’s operating system encryption.
+
+The app uses only encryption provided by Apple’s operating system (e.g., Apple-provided TLS stacks accessed through system frameworks used by the app and its dependencies).
+
+The app is not a VPN client/server, does not provide end-to-end encrypted messaging, and does not provide user-controlled key management or custom cryptographic functionality beyond standard transport security.
+
+Accordingly, the app’s use of encryption is believed to qualify as exempt under U.S. export regulations for mass-market software using standard OS-provided encryption.

+# Export compliance (encryption)
+
+Apple may require an "Export Compliance" statement upload when submitting to the Mac App Store.
+
+This folder contains:
+
+- `EXPORT_COMPLIANCE.txt`: a template statement (fill-in placeholders)
+- `make_pdf.sh`: a helper to fill the template and generate a PDF you can upload
+
+## Generate the PDF
+
+From the repo root:
+
+```bash
+./build_tools/macos/export_compliance/make_pdf.sh \
+  --bundle-id com.dryark.strawberry \
+  --version 1.2.3 \
+  --developer "Dry Ark LLC" \
+  --contact "support@example.com"
+```
+
+Outputs:
+
+- `build_tools/macos/export_compliance/EXPORT_COMPLIANCE.filled.txt`
+- `build_tools/macos/export_compliance/EXPORT_COMPLIANCE.pdf`
+
+## Important
+
+This template assumes the app uses **only standard OS-provided encryption** (e.g. TLS/HTTPS via system frameworks) and does **not** ship proprietary or standalone crypto libraries.
+
+If you bundle your own crypto library (e.g. OpenSSL) or implement custom encryption, you likely need different answers/documentation.

+  <h1>Privacy Policy</h1>
+  <p class="muted">Last updated: 2026-01-22</p>
+
+  <h2>Summary</h2>
+  <ul>
+    <li><strong>No analytics / tracking</strong>: This app does not include advertising SDKs, analytics SDKs, or tracking pixels.</li>
+    <li><strong>No data selling</strong>: We do not sell personal data.</li>
+    <li><strong>Optional online features</strong>: If you enable online features (lyrics lookup, cover art search, scrobbling, streaming services, radio, update checks), the app will contact third-party services and send the minimum data needed to provide the feature.</li>
+  </ul>
+
+  <h2>What data is stored on your device</h2>
+  <p>Strawberry stores data locally on your device, such as:</p>
+  <ul>
+    <li>Library database and playlists (file paths, track metadata, play counts, ratings).</li>
+    <li>App settings and preferences.</li>
+    <li>Optional service credentials/tokens you configure (for example scrobbling or streaming accounts), stored locally.</li>
+  </ul>
+
+  <h2>What data is sent over the network (and when)</h2>
+  <p>Strawberry does not “phone home” just to run, but it will make network requests when you use or enable specific features. When the app contacts a third-party service, that service will receive standard network information such as your IP address, user-agent, and the request data described below.</p>
+
+  <h3>Album cover art search (optional)</h3>
+  <p>If you use album cover search (or enable “search automatically”), the app may send artist/album/track metadata to configured cover providers to find images.</p>
+
+  <h3>Lyrics lookup (optional)</h3>
+  <p>If you search for lyrics (or enable “search automatically”), the app may send artist/title/album/duration to configured lyrics providers to retrieve lyrics.</p>
+
+  <h3>Scrobbling (optional)</h3>
+  <p>If you enable scrobbling (for example Last.fm or ListenBrainz) the app sends “now playing” and/or listen history data to the configured scrobbling service, including track/artist/album metadata and timestamps. You can disable scrobbling at any time in Settings.</p>
+
+  <h3>Streaming services (optional)</h3>
+  <p>If you enable and sign into a streaming service (for example Tidal, Spotify, Qobuz, Subsonic-compatible servers), the app will communicate with that service to authenticate, browse, and play music. Requests may include account identifiers/tokens and media metadata required by the service.</p>
+
+  <h3>Internet radio (optional)</h3>
+  <p>If you use internet radio features, the app will contact the selected station/provider to retrieve station lists and stream audio.</p>
+
+  <h3>Discord Rich Presence (optional)</h3>
+  <p>If you enable Discord Rich Presence, the app shares currently playing track/artist/album information with the locally-running Discord client so it can be displayed on your Discord profile. You can disable this in Settings.</p>
+
+  <h3>Software updates</h3>
+  <p>The Mac App Store version of Strawberry is updated through Apple’s App Store.</p>
+
+  <h3>OAuth / local redirect server (optional)</h3>
+  <p>Some providers use an OAuth login flow that may open your browser and (in some cases) start a temporary local <code>http://localhost</code> redirect listener to complete authentication. This listener is local-only (not exposed on the internet) and only used during authentication. (Mac App Store builds may disable this flow.)</p>
+
+  <h2>Data sharing</h2>
+  <p>We do not share your personal data with third parties except as necessary to provide features you explicitly use or enable (for example, sending track metadata to a lyrics provider when you request lyrics).</p>
+
+  <h2>Your choices</h2>
+  <ul>
+    <li>Disable Discord Rich Presence in Settings.</li>
+    <li>Disable scrobbling services in Settings.</li>
+    <li>Disable automatic cover/lyrics searching in Settings.</li>
+    <li>Avoid signing into streaming services if you don’t want those network requests.</li>
+  </ul>
+
+  <h2>Contact</h2>
+  <p>If you have questions about this policy, contact: <strong>privacy@dryark.com</strong></p>
