strawberry/build

Build helper scripts

This build/ directory contains helper scripts and notes for building Strawberry.

• It is not intended to be your CMake build output directory.
• Recommended CMake build output directories: cmake-build/, build-release/, etc.

macOS

• Install dependencies via Homebrew:

./build/macos/install_brew_deps.sh

• Build Strawberry:

./build/macos/build_app.sh --release
open ./cmake-build-macos-release/strawberry.app

macOS signing + notarization (Developer ID distribution)

This repo includes build/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:

xcrun notarytool store-credentials \
  --keychain-profile "<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:

./build/macos/build_sign_notarize.sh

Build + sign + notarize

./build/macos/build_sign_notarize.sh --run --release --clean --deploy \
  --identity "Developer ID Application: Your Name (TEAMID)" \
  --notary-profile "<profile-name>"
