Public summary
macOS desktop apps built or published from Windows can fail to open on a Mac, including Apple Silicon Macs, even after executable permissions have been restored. Studio can report that the build succeeded while the generated application's executable signature is invalid.
Generated macOS applications should have a valid executable signature for development and testing after transfer to a Mac. Developer ID signing and notarisation for public distribution remain separate requirements.
