Hello,

I have maintained a fork of CQ-editor at https://github.com/jdegenstein/jmwright-CQ-Editor for the past several years.

In that time I have released static builds of CQ-editor built with pyinstaller that bundle CadQuery, build123d and other useful packages. These builds provide a "download, unzip and run" user experience for python / CQ newcomers. These builds are also run on a weekly basis via github actions.

https://github.com/jdegenstein/jmwright-CQ-Editor/releases

I recently finished my effort to also release static builds for macos-arm64 (and have long released macos-x86_64) but I could use some testers on these platforms. Bonus points if any advice can be offered related to eventually signing these packages for these platforms or other related QoL improvements for macos.

Thank you

@michaelgale Would you be able to help test the MacOS builds? We're talking about consolidating builds into this main repo and would like to do some testing on the PyInstaller builds before going so. I know you have PR #111 still open, which I think is related to this.

Hi, JFY, I just found CadQuery and tried to run arm64 build on macos 15.1, but OS didn't allow me to run it. I entered my password many many times, allowed many libs in preferences, but couldn't reach end of prompts and finally gave up!

There are a lot of .so files bundled, so if you are having to confirm every one of them without a "do the same with the rest" checkbox, you will be there for quite some time. We need to come up with a way to get MacOS packages signed.

Some relevant discussion here about a possible workaround:

jdegenstein/jmwright-CQ-Editor#20

Would love if this could be packaged in a script somehow and ran by the end user with elevated permissions. Can anyone test this workaround and then maybe we can collaborate on creating a script and necessary instructions?
