FACTUAL ACTIVITY RECORD · An activity record based on work that took place
Integrating the macOS release candidate
Combining the application, helper, signing setup, UI, and verification in one state
Purpose
The separately prepared macOS release source and verification results needed to become one state that could proceed to distribution checks.
Implementation
The Xcode project, entitlements, bundled helper, release workflow, application icon, and UI and Web wording were integrated, with Swift, TypeScript, Web, build, specification, policy, and secret audits tied to the same change.
The macOS release candidate integrates a Swift target with a resource bundle, Xcode project, runtime policy, helper build, icon assets, and verification tests. The components from source to distribution candidate are aligned in one cutoff tree.
