Add a packaged mac app instead of a .jar file

[Plunzo]

Hi, I have figured out how to package the jar file as a mac app and it would be nice if you could add that to the version page for other people to enjoy! If you didn't want to package it yourself, I could! Thank you!

it'd be appreciated if you could share the steps on how to do it!
A native macOS application is not something I've looked at as I don't have a machine that I can test it out.

Ideally that should be integrated into the current GH action workflow, and the whole packaging process should be transparent and auditable by the public.

I used this video, but I think you need a mac to even package it

could probably spin up a macOS action runner, though indeed without access to a mac it's going to be a bit tricky to do the testing :(

there's still a lot to be done with PW-GUI itself (even tho i haven't been able to keep up with the development recently), so i am not sure when i'll get to this yet.
If you feel like it, you could probably make an unofficial packaged build of your own and publish it somewhere, though keep in mind that I can't really give it an "official endorsement" since ultimately it's a 3rd party effort.

That could work, but it was discontinued in 2024, so it might not function anymore, but its worth a try
