starting with build `0.3.0-build148` we support signing and notarization of macOS DMG packages in Gradle plugin out of the box. See <https://github.com/JetBrains/compose-jb/tree/master/tutorials/Signing_and_notarization_on_macOS>. Please let us know how it works for you, and if documentation needs clarification or improvements.

`AppImage`  target format used to create .app files on Mac.  With this update, it started throwing the following error
```Caused by: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Unexpected target format for MacOS: AppImage

<@U015TKX93PD> Is `AppImage` supported on mac now?

<@U3SK5B492> just to confirm. This means I'm going to need to pay a 100 annual fee right? No way around it? Just asking because I know you can deploy/sign ios apps without paying 100 for an apple dev account

That’s better be asked at Apple forums, I personally paid that fee.

<@U3SK5B492> thanks. will reach out to some apple forums.

<@U0B9ZL4N4> the `AppImage` was not documented, so it was considered no one would use it as a `targetFormats` argument. The problem with it is that the name is too generic and confusing, and its not really a packaging format. In reality `AppImage` was meant to create a prepackaged app on any platform (`.app` is not a file format on Mac; it is just a directory containing executables &amp; libraries).
In order to avoid confusion around `TargetFormat.AppImage`, the value was prohibited to be used as an argument of `targetFormats`. Instead, there are always two tasks available: `createDistributable` and `runDistributable` to create and run a prepackaged app. I will clarify the error message to reflect that.
