Hi, when I export my game for mac using the WKWebView option it gives me a zip file. After I extract it and try to run it, it says it can't be opened. I have tried unzipping it using a different program and it says the file is damaged. Is there a way to export the game for mac without having it compressed into a zip file? Thanks.

Ok I figured out what the problem was. So I opened Terminal and used the codesigning app to sign the .app file using my developer certificate. After that I was able to double-click the .app file and launch it successfully.

This is the command I used in Terminal:

codesign -s "Your Company, Inc." /path/to/MyApp.app

See the tutorial Exporting to macOS with the WKWebView wrapper. By default macOS security restrictions will block an unsigned app from being run.

After codesigning, can I distribute the app to others? Or is the codesigning just for me?
