What is the role of Info.plist and entitlements in Tauri macOS distribution?

Info.plist and entitlements configure macOS metadata for code signing and sandboxing in Tauri app bundles. They are required to meet macOS distribution requirements and ensure your application has the necessary permissions.

Does Tauri support validation for macOS distribution artifacts?

Tauri supports validating distribution artifacts to check compliance and readiness for both App Store and direct distribution. This ensures your DMG and app bundles meet the necessary macOS packaging requirements.

What's the best way to ship a macOS version of a Tauri app with proper signing?

The best way to ship a signed macOS Tauri app is to build app bundles and DMGs via the Tauri CLI while applying entitlements and Info.plist customizations. This ensures compliance for direct or App Store distribution.
