feat(macos): ship Bridge as a .app in a styled DMG; fix the updater for real release archives - #47
macOS app + DMG. The macOS release was a bare binary in a zip, so Finder opened it in Terminal. packaging/macos/ now builds OpenMouse Bridge.app (tray-only, icon, native-hid under Contents/Resources) and a styled drag-to-Applications DMG via dmgbuild.
Bundle-aware updater. Installs running from the .app replace the whole bundle in a locked, rolling-back transaction (so the code signature stays intact) using a new openmouse-bridge-macos-app.zip. Bare-binary installs keep following the existing openmouse-bridge-macos-universal.zip.
Updater bug fix (all platforms).ZipArchive::new scans the entire file when the archive offset is unknown, so the 16 MiB metadata budget rejected every real update archive (update archive is invalid or exceeds metadata budget). The extractor now opens archives with a known zero offset. Added a regression test with an archive larger than the budget.
Release workflow. The macOS job builds the app and DMG, verifies the mounted DMG, and signs + notarizes when MACOS_CERTIFICATE_BASE64, MACOS_CERTIFICATE_PASSWORD, MACOS_SIGN_IDENTITY, APPLE_ID, APPLE_TEAM_ID and APPLE_APP_PASSWORD are set (ad-hoc otherwise).
Testing
cargo test, cargo clippy --all-targets -- -D warnings, cargo fmt --check all pass; new tests cover the bundle package layout, archive paths, the bundle install transaction (success, existing lock, copy failure, commit failure, rollback failure) and large archives.
Ran the real updater end to end on a signed bundle against a local fake release: the app swapped to the new version in ~12s, the signature stayed valid, and no transaction leftovers remained.
Not exercised yet: the workflow's signing/notarization steps and the CI run itself; they first run on a real tag.
Notes
Releases already installed with the old updater cannot self-update (it rejects normal-sized archives), so they need one manual install of the next version.
The macOS cursor-freeze fix (non-exclusive HID opens) is intentionally not in this PR.
Note
Ship macOS Bridge as a signed .app in a styled DMG with bundle-aware updater
Adds macOS app bundle packaging and updates the updater to install it correctly.
The release workflow in release.yml signs and notarizes the app and DMG, and uploads the DMG plus an app update ZIP alongside the existing bare-binary package
The updater in updater.rs detects app-bundle installs via the new bundle_root locator in macos.rs, downloads the app ZIP instead of the binary ZIP, and replaces the whole .app directory via a shell helper with backup and rollback
PackageLayout supports both flat and macOS bundle layouts for verification; extract_archive_with_limits now opens ZIPs with offset zero
Behavioral Change: bundled installs pick the app update archive and swap the entire app directory; verify_install_directory target checks and macOS bundle detection (macos_is_bundled) now use the MacOS/Contents/.app path structure instead of substring matching

Walkthrough
The release workflow now builds macOS app and DMG artifacts. Runtime code detects app bundles, locates bundled resources, and supports updating complete app bundles while retaining the existing flat-install path.
Changes: macOS app distribution and updates
Layer / File(s)
Summary
App bundle and installer packaging packaging/macos/*, .gitignore
Adds app metadata, entitlements, scripts to assemble and sign the app and build a DMG, and generated icon and background assets.
Release signing and artifacts .github/workflows/release.yml, README.md
The release workflow uses optional signing and notarization secrets, verifies the DMG, and uploads the DMG and app-update ZIP with its checksum alongside the universal ZIP. The README adds macOS installation instructions.
Bundle detection and package validation src/platform/macos.rs, src/platform/mod.rs, src/drivers/native_hid.rs, src/updater.rs, src/updater/tests.rs
Runtime code identifies app bundles and locates bundled native-HID resources. The updater selects and validates bundle or flat packages, with tests for package contents and extraction.
Bundle installs hand off replacement to a helper that backs up and replaces the app, rolls back on failure, and opens the updated app. Tests cover replacement, lock handling, and transaction failures.

Notarization checks if the app contains known malware using an encrypted connection that is resilient to server failures.
# Safely open apps on your Mac
macOS includes a technology called Gatekeeper, that's designed to ensure that only trusted software runs on your Mac.
The safest place to get apps for your Mac is the App Store. Apple reviews each app in the App Store before it’s accepted and signs it to ensure that it hasn’t been tampered with or altered. If there’s ever a problem with an app, Apple can quickly remove it from the store.
If you download and install apps from the internet or directly from a developer, macOS continues to protect your Mac.
* When you install Mac apps, plug-ins, and installer packages from outside the App Store, macOS checks the Developer ID signature to verify that the software is from an identified developer and that it has not been altered.
* By default, macOS Catalina and later also requires software to be notarized, so you can be confident that the software you run on your Mac doesn't contain known malware.An app that has been notarized by Apple indicates that Apple checked it for malicious software and none was detected.
* Before opening downloaded software for the first time, macOS requests your approval to make sure you aren’t misled into running software you didn’t expect.
Running software that hasn’t been signed and notarized may expose your computer and personal information to malware that can harm your Mac or compromise your privacy.
## If your Mac displays an alert when you open an app
The warning messages displayed below are examples, and it's possible that you could see a similar message that isn't displayed here. Please use caution if you choose to install any software for which your Mac displays an alert.
### Alert that the app was downloaded from the Internet
The first time that you open a new app from an identified developer that you downloaded outside the App Store, your Mac asks if you’re sure that you want to open it.
### Alert that Apple cannot check the app for malicious software
Image: Alert message stating "Apple cannot check 'Example App' for malicious software" with options to "Move to Trash" or "Done".
If Apple can't check an app for malicious software:
* Contact the app developer for more information
* Check the App Store for an updated version or search for an alternative app.
* If you’re certain that the app is from a trustworthy source and hasn’t been tampered with, you might be able to temporarily override your Mac security settings to open it
### Alert that the app developer cannot be verified
If the app developer can't be verified and — in macOS Catalina and later — the app hasn't been notarized by Apple, macOS can't verify that the app is free of malware.
* Check the App Store for an updated version or search for an alternative app.
* If you're certain that the app is from a trustworthy source and hasn't been tampered with, you might be able to temporarily override your Mac security settings to open it

Upload your software to the Apple notary service, as described in Upload your app to the notarization service.
# Notarizing macOS software before distribution
Give users even more confidence in your macOS software by submitting it to Apple for notarization.
Important
Starting November 1, 2023, the Apple notary service no longer accepts uploads from `altool` or Xcode 13 or earlier. If you notarize your Mac software with the Apple notary service using the `altool` command-line utility or Xcode 13 or earlier, you need to transition to the `notarytool` command-line utility or upgrade to Xcode 14 or later.
Notarize your macOS software to give users more confidence that the Developer ID-signed software you distribute has been checked by Apple for malicious components. Notarization of macOS software is not App Review. The Apple notary service is an automated system that scans your software for malicious content, checks for code-signing issues, and returns the results to you quickly. If there are no issues, the notary service generates a ticket for you to staple to your software; the notary service also publishes that ticket online where Gatekeeper can find it.
When the user first installs or runs your macOS software, the presence of a ticket (either online or attached to the executable) tells Gatekeeper that Apple notarized the software. Gatekeeper then places descriptive information in the initial launch dialog to help the user make an informed choice about whether to launch the app.
Image: Screenshot of the dialog that Gatekeeper presents to let the user know that Apple notarized the app being launched.
You can notarize several different types of software deliverables, including:
* macOS apps
* Non-app bundles, such as kernel extensions
* Disk images (UDIF format)
* Flat installer packages
Notarization also protects your users if your Developer ID signing key is exposed. The notary service maintains an audit trail of the software distributed using your signing key. If you discover unauthorized versions of your software, you can work with Apple to revoke the tickets associated with those versions.
Important
Beginning in macOS 10.14.5, software signed with a new Developer ID certificate and all new or updated kernel extensions must be notarized to run. Beginning in macOS 10.15, all software built after June 1, 2019, and distributed with Developer ID must be notarized. However, you aren’t required to notarize software that you distribute through the Mac App Store because the App Store submission process already includes equivalent security checks.
### Prepare your software for notarization
Apple’s notary service requires you to adopt the following protections:
* Enable code-signing for all of the executables you distribute, and ensure that executables have valid code signatures, as described in Ensure a valid code signature.
* Use a “Developer ID” application, kernel extension, system extension, or installer certificate for your code-signing signature. (Don’t use a Mac Distribution, ad hoc, Apple Developer, or local development certificate.) Verify the certificate type before submitting, as described in Use a valid Developer ID certificate.

If you distribute software outside the App Store, notarize it so Gatekeeper can verify your software is genuine and unaltered. ... The notarization service also maintains an audit trail of software distributed using your signing key.
After you build a distributable version of your app, create an archive of it and send it to App Store Connect. If you use Xcode Cloud to build your app, configure one of your workflows to upload your app after a successful build and distribute it to testers or the App Store.
## Distribute apps yourself
In macOS, the Gatekeeper security technology ensures that only trusted software runs on a person’s Mac. When someone downloads and opens an app, plug-in, or installer package from outside the App Store, Gatekeeper verifies that the software is from a known developer and is unaltered. The first time someone runs the software on their Mac, Gatekeeper prompts them to verify they want to run the software.
If you distribute software outside the App Store, notarize it so Gatekeeper can verify your software is genuine and unaltered. Notarization isn’t the same as an App Review. The Apple notary service is an automated system that scans your software for malicious content, checks for code-signing issues, and returns the results to you quickly. The system gives you a ticket to distribute with your software. When someone runs your software, Gatekeeper uses that ticket to verify your content is genuine and not altered. The notarization service also maintains an audit trail of software distributed using your signing key. If someone distributes an unauthorized version of your software, you can work with Apple to revoke the notarization of that version.
In eligible regions, you can distribute apps for non-macOS platforms from your website or an alternative marketplace. In those regions, work with Apple to validate and notarize your content prior to distribution.</excerpt>

# Signing your apps for Gatekeeper
Gatekeeper on macOS helps protect users from downloading and installing malicious software by checking for a Developer ID certificate from apps distributed outside the Mac App Store. Make sure to sign any apps, plug-ins, or installer packages that you distribute to let Gatekeeper know they’re safe to install. You can also give people even more confidence in your apps running on macOS Mojave or later by submitting them to Apple to be notarized.
## Prepare for distribution
A Developer ID certificate lets Gatekeeper verify that you’re a trusted developer when people download and open your app, plug-in, or installer package from outside the Mac App Store. Software signed with a Developer ID certificate can also take advantage of advanced capabilities such as CloudKit and Apple Push Notifications.
### Generate your Developer ID certificate
You can generate your Developer ID certificate in Xcode or in the Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles section of your developer account. Please note that you must be the Account Holder of your development team in the Apple Developer Program in order to generate this cerificate.
Learn about creating and exporting certificates
### Sign and test your app
In Xcode, you can enable the hardened runtime capability and declare entitlements for the functions your app requires. Then archive your app and test the user experience of launching your Developer ID-signed app using a Mac.
Learn about preparing your app for distribution
##### Xcode
Build your apps for macOS and submit them to be notarized by Apple using the latest version of Xcode available on the Mac App Store.
## Get your software notarized
Give people even more confidence in your software by submitting it to Apple to be notarized. This service automatically scans your Developer ID-signed software and performs security checks. When it’s ready to export for distribution, your software is assigned a ticket to let Gatekeeper know it’s been notarized.
For step-by-step details on uploading your Mac software to be notarized, review Notarizing macOS software before distribution and the Xcode documentation.

Note
Always check the log file, even if notarization succeeds, because it might contain warnings that you can fix prior to your next submission.
For information about how to deal with common problems, see Resolving common notarization issues.
### Staple the ticket to your distribution
Notarization produces a ticket that tells Gatekeeper that your app is notarized. After notarization completes, the next time any user attempts to run your app on macOS 10.14 or later, Gatekeeper finds the ticket online. This includes users who downloaded your app before notarization.
You should also attach the ticket to your software using the `stapler` tool, so that future distributions include the ticket. This ensures that Gatekeeper can find the ticket even when a network connection isn’t available. To attach a ticket to your app, bundle, disk image, or flat installer package, use the `stapler` tool:
`% xcrun stapler staple "Overnight TextEditor.app"
`
While you can notarize a ZIP archive, you can’t staple to it directly. Instead, run `stapler` against each item that you added to the archive. Then create a new ZIP file containing the stapled items for distribution. Although tickets are created for standalone binaries, it’s not currently possible to staple tickets to them.

Document the ad-hoc macOS fallback.
The workflow intentionally publishes the DMG when signing secrets are absent. It does not fail or warn; it builds an ad-hoc-signed, non-notarized app. The README documents only the signed path, so users are not told that macOS may require a manual Gatekeeper override.
Suggested documentation
Download `OpenMouse-Bridge-macos-universal.dmg` from the latest release, open
it, and drag OpenMouse Bridge to Applications. It runs as a menu bar app with
no Terminal window. `packaging/macos/` holds the scripts that build the app
bundle and DMG; the release workflow signs and notarizes them when the
`MACOS_CERTIFICATE_BASE64`, `MACOS_CERTIFICATE_PASSWORD`, `MACOS_SIGN_IDENTITY`,
`APPLE_ID`, `APPLE_TEAM_ID` and `APPLE_APP_PASSWORD` secrets are set.
+When these secrets are not set, the workflow publishes an ad-hoc-signed,+non-notarized DMG. macOS may require a manual Gatekeeper override before the+app can run.

What
packaging/macos/now buildsOpenMouse Bridge.app(tray-only, icon,native-hidunderContents/Resources) and a styled drag-to-Applications DMG viadmgbuild..appreplace the whole bundle in a locked, rolling-back transaction (so the code signature stays intact) using a newopenmouse-bridge-macos-app.zip. Bare-binary installs keep following the existingopenmouse-bridge-macos-universal.zip.ZipArchive::newscans the entire file when the archive offset is unknown, so the 16 MiB metadata budget rejected every real update archive (update archive is invalid or exceeds metadata budget). The extractor now opens archives with a known zero offset. Added a regression test with an archive larger than the budget.MACOS_CERTIFICATE_BASE64,MACOS_CERTIFICATE_PASSWORD,MACOS_SIGN_IDENTITY,APPLE_ID,APPLE_TEAM_IDandAPPLE_APP_PASSWORDare set (ad-hoc otherwise).Testing
cargo test,cargo clippy --all-targets -- -D warnings,cargo fmt --checkall pass; new tests cover the bundle package layout, archive paths, the bundle install transaction (success, existing lock, copy failure, commit failure, rollback failure) and large archives.Notes
Note
Ship macOS Bridge as a signed .app in a styled DMG with bundle-aware updater
Adds macOS app bundle packaging and updates the updater to install it correctly.
