How to build Logseq without the signing process on macOS?

The build fails and says “Error: No authentication properties provided (e.g. appleId, appleApiKey)”. I am on macOS. This is from running yarn release-electron. Running yarn watch lets me use Logseq in the browser and yarn dev-electron-app, but I want to build the desktop app.

I assume this has something to do with the ‘signing’ process for Apple. How can I create the Desktop app without this?

I got the answer from User danzu over at Discord:

          osxSign: {
            identity: 'Developer ID Application: Tiansheng Qin',
            'hardened-runtime': true,
            entitlements: 'entitlements.plist',
            'entitlements-inherit': 'entitlements.plist',
            'signature-flags': 'library'
          },
          osxNotarize: {
            appleId: process.env['APPLE_ID'],
            appleIdPassword: process.env['APPLE_ID_PASSWORD'],
            ascProvider: process.env['APPLE_ASC_PROVIDER']
          },

Works! Building with yarn release-electron now creates a .dmg and .zip file!
