TLDR how do I create a distributable image for another MacO kotlinlang #compose-desktop

TLDR; how do I create a distributable image for another MacOS platform I have a compose desktop project and I want to create a dmg for x64 macs (mine is m1). Is all I need to do change:

implementation(compose.desktop.currentOs)

implementation(compose.desktop.macos_x64)

and run the gradle task:

packageDmg

? Because when I had someone try the dmg file, the app had a cross over it.

You need to use an x64 jdk

When I select download JDK from IJ would this be what's called aarch64? or the one without any designation? Or would it even be filtered out? I.e. I have to manually download it

Definitely not aarch64 so the other one. Not near a Mac so can't check

Also remember to set it in the build.gradle.kts in your compose config

ok, I think I managed to solve it. Because it's bundling the x64 version of libskio I managed to get the cross to disappear but it just quits upon launch. So, now I have to figure out where macos logs why it crashed

Also remember to set it in the build.gradle.kts in your compose config

You mean

implementation(compose.desktop.macos_x64)

right? or what other config is there?

This one: https://github.com/JetBrains/compose-jb/tree/master/tutorials/Native_distributions_and_local_execution#customizing-jdk-version

You could also try running the gradle build using Rosetta

Interesting. Some things for me to try there

For binaries to run on recent versions of MacOS, they need to be signed.
