GitHub publishing

electron-builder.yml is set to publish to GitHub Releases for getjusto/dev6.

The authenticated publish flow uses:

• GH_TOKEN
• APPLE_ID
• APPLE_APP_SPECIFIC_PASSWORD or APPLE_PASSWORD
• APPLE_TEAM_ID
• optional CSC_NAME to select a specific signing identity from Keychain

For the simplest electron-updater setup, keep the release artifacts publicly downloadable. The repository itself can remain private only if you do not rely on GitHub-hosted auto-updates for end users.

For local publishing on the current maintainer machine, use:

• pnpm release:mac

That script reads the GitHub token from gh auth token, defaults CSC_NAME to Developer ID Application: Orionsoft SpA (3CZ24HA8DS), and maps APPLE_PASSWORD to APPLE_APP_SPECIFIC_PASSWORD for compatibility with the existing dev4 flow. That script reads the GitHub token from gh auth token, defaults CSC_NAME to Orionsoft SpA (3CZ24HA8DS), and maps APPLE_PASSWORD to APPLE_APP_SPECIFIC_PASSWORD for compatibility with the existing dev4 flow.

To keep Apple credentials out of git, copy:

• scripts/release-env.local.example.sh

to:

• scripts/release-env.local.sh

and fill in the local environment variables there. Files ending in .local are ignored by git in this repo.

Shipping notes

Before production distribution on macOS, add:

• Apple Developer signing identity
• notarization credentials
• GitHub release token
• CI secrets for publishing and signing
