I just tried to build #Metatext in #XCode to polish it up a little and holy fucking shit.
The first build fails because apparently packages were wrongly resolved. The internet tells me to clean the cache (I’m reminded of the horrors of Visual Studio), during which XCode crashes.
It actually runs in the simulator, but I apparently need extra settings to run it as a macOS app (“My Mac (Designed for iPad)”), which apparently requires a provisioning profile, which apparently requires signing.
After signing bullshit, more signing bullshit (signing into an apple id, letting XCode overwrite my build settings and generate a certificate, changing the bundle Id on multiple projects because it’s already registered, changing the bundle id again because “Embedded binary's bundle identifier is not prefixed with the parent app's bundle identifier”) and some more signing bullshit …
I get this.
Fuck off, Apple
