I am a somewhat old very amateur ex maths teacher who attempts a little coding in XOJO. It is usually very simplistic and I usually have to do a lot of research in the documentation to get things to “work” but I very much enjoy it. I have built a few substantial projects and some mini ones.
I have no commercial intentions but would like to share some of my creations with family members. A recent forum post I read talked about distribution issues and that with other posts has always lost me fairly early in the process. I did find an older walk through, but that fell apart as I think interfaces in Xcode have changed.
So I build an app in Mac OS with latest versions of Mac OS and xojo. It works flawlessly. For the sake of argument assume it is a small project using a SQLite database that details some family history around items in my house.
I don’t want to pay additional apple licences but I would like a family member to have this package on her MacBook. I assume security over an unsigned app on another machine will be an issue.
Do I have options? I assume yes - I could get her to install XOJO and use my source code to build it on her machine seems the wrong approach!
Is there a real idiots guide to a step by step process to make this happen elegantly (or is there even a need for this as I cannot be the only person looking to do this in my very amateur way as opposed to a professional providing apps for a client).
