You can package and sign a macOS app using Swift Package Manager without Xcode by automating the creation, building, and codesigning of the `.app` bundle through dedicated scripts. This skill handles the entire process, including bootstrapping the project and managing app bundles independently.

Yes, you can automate Apple notarization for a SwiftPM app via the command line by integrating `notarytool` into your release workflow. This skill streamlines the submission and notarization process, allowing distribution without opening Xcode.

The best way to create a DMG disk image installer for a SwiftPM macOS app is by using the `create-dmg` dependency. This skill optionally integrates `create-dmg` to generate disk image installers after building and signing your application bundle.

No, you do not need Xcode to build and distribute macOS applications built with SwiftPM. This skill eliminates the need for Xcode by automating project scaffolding, app bundle assembly, code signing, and notarization entirely through command-line tools.

To automate macOS app signing and notarization for SwiftPM projects, you need Swift Package Manager, `codesign`, and `notarytool`. Optionally, `create-dmg` is required if you want to generate DMG disk images for distribution.

To bootstrap a new macOS app project using SwiftPM, you can use this skill's project scaffolding feature. It automates the initial setup, allowing you to quickly start developing a command-line tool or simple app for distribution.
