# 🎉 MoreMinimore Build Solution - Complete Guide
|
||||
|
||||
## 🎯 Problem Solved
|
||||
|
||||
**Original Issue**: Code signing failure during Electron app build
|
||||
```
|
||||
Error: Failed to codesign your application
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Root Cause**: Missing Apple Developer credentials for code signing
|
||||
**Solution**: Automated build script with intelligent code signing management
|
||||
|
||||
## 🚀 Solution Overview
|
||||
|
||||
We created a comprehensive build automation system that:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **✅ Automatically handles code signing** - Disables for development, enables for production
|
||||
2. **✅ Provides complete build automation** - From dependencies to final package
|
||||
3. **✅ Includes robust error handling** - Clear messages and troubleshooting
|
||||
4. **✅ Supports multiple build modes** - Development, production, clean, verbose
|
||||
5. **✅ Works cross-platform** - macOS, Windows, Linux support
|
||||
|
||||
## 📁 Files Created
|
||||
|
||||
### **Core Build Script**
|
||||
- `scripts/build-moreminimore-app.sh` - Main build automation script
|
||||
|
||||
### **Documentation**
|
||||
- `README-BUILD-SCRIPT.md` - Comprehensive build script guide
|
||||
- `README-BUILD-SOLUTION.md` - This solution summary
|
||||
|
||||
## 🔧 Quick Start
|
||||
|
||||
### **Development Build (No Code Signing)**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
./scripts/build-moreminimore-app.sh
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### **Production Build (Code Signing Required)**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
export APPLE_TEAM_ID="your-team-id"
|
||||
export APPLE_ID="your-apple-id@example.com"
|
||||
export APPLE_PASSWORD="your-app-password"
|
||||
export SM_CODE_SIGNING_CERT_SHA1_HASH="your-cert-hash"
|
||||
|
||||
./scripts/build-moreminimore-app.sh --production
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## 🎯 Key Features
|
||||
|
||||
### **Automatic Code Signing Management**
|
||||
- **Development**: Sets `E2E_TEST_BUILD=true` to disable code signing
|
||||
- **Production**: Requires Apple Developer credentials for proper signing
|
||||
- **Smart Detection**: Automatically detects build mode and configures accordingly
|
||||
|
||||
### **Comprehensive Build Process**
|
||||
```
|
||||
1. Environment Setup → 2. Prerequisites Check → 3. Dependencies Install
|
||||
4. Build Cleanup → 5. Preparation → 6. Application Build → 7. Verification
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### **Error Handling & Troubleshooting**

|
||||
- Verbose mode for debugging
|
||||
- Automatic logo generation if missing
|
||||

||||
- `--production` - Production build with code signing
|
||||
- `--clean-only` - Clean build artifacts only
|
||||
- `--skip-deps` - Skip dependency installation
|
||||
- `--verbose` - Detailed build output
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## 🛠️ Technical Implementation
|
||||
|
||||
### **Code Signing Fix**
|
||||
The script automatically sets `E2E_TEST_BUILD=true` for development builds, which tells Electron Forge to skip code signing:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# In setup_environment() function
|
||||
if [ "$PRODUCTION_BUILD" = false ]; then
|
||||
export E2E_TEST_BUILD=true
|
||||
print_success "✓ E2E_TEST_BUILD=true (code signing disabled)"
|
||||
fi
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### **Build Verification**
|
||||
The script verifies build success by checking for platform-specific artifacts:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# macOS verification
|
||||
if [ -f "out/make/zip/darwin/arm64/MoreMinimore-darwin-arm64-"*".zip" ]; then
|
||||
build_found=true
|
||||
print_success "✓ macOS build found: $(basename "$app_file")"
|
||||
fi
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### **Error Handling**
|
||||
Comprehensive error handling with clear messages:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
handle_error() {
|
||||
local exit_code=$?
|
||||
if [ $exit_code -ne 0 ]; then
|
||||
print_error "Build failed with exit code $exit_code"
|
||||
echo "Troubleshooting steps..."
|
||||
exit $exit_code
|
||||
fi
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## 🎨 Integration with Existing Workflow
