Mac Release Guide

Preparation

First, if you need to notarize your application, please configure Apple's App-Specific Password and notarization environment. The core command is as follows:

xcrun notarytool store-credentials 'DeepChat' --apple-id 'account email' --team-id team-id --password 'app password, which can be generated in Apple's personal center'

If you don't understand this part, please refer to this tutorial.
