This is the Extension and Companion Installer for Alby. 
alby.json into the NativeMessagingHosts folder in your Libary/Application Support for the browser.Enjoy the code and please report any bugs.
What do we need to do to make sure that the app runs on all recent macs (M1, Intel, recent OS versions)? This is for the installer itself but also the companion executable. Do we need to deliver different executables for the different platforms?
The Alby.app must be put in a place where it stays and is not moved. So the downloads folder is not good enough for that.
We must tell people to put the app in their Applications folder.
I think most macOS apps have some nice looking dmg that allows people to drag & drop the app to the Applications folder. we should also package the app like that.
Added a script for DMG creation. Script should be invoked in the DMG directory. It takes "Alby.app" from "dmg_content" directory and creates a DMG file
Resolves #1
Currently we first tell the use to install the browser extension (by opening the browser with a URL) and then to install the companion app.
We can actually combine that into one Button. We create the manifest JSON for that browser and then we open the browser with the install URL.
In a build that we did the alby exectuable was not executable:
trying to run it from the terminal gave me:
» /Applications/Alby.app/Contents/Resources/alby
zsh: permission denied: /Applications/Alby.app/Contents/Resources/alby
after doing a chmod +x it worked
» chmod +x /Applications/Alby.app/Contents/Resources/alby
We probably have to make sure that the packaged alby file is chmod +x before building
We somehow need to notify the user of updates and download the new version of the extension for safari. I am not sure how to do this best, because the user typically does not start this .app but only uses the extension in Safari. Probably we need to add some version update notification into the extension?
We got this design suggestions for the app
.
We must always reuse any default macOS style and not do anything custom but I guess we can add some background image/color the logo etc.
Please also note that the amount of browsers shown depends on the browser installed on the user's system.
Disable Safari for now until we have auto-updates there to make sure the extension is also on Safari always updated.
