How to build an OSX app for both Non-Mac AppStore and for Mac AppStore?

[hetal-patadia]

Hi,

I would like to know as to how can I get the builds for both AppStore and non-AppStore version? Can I just provide different certificates link for CSC_LINK & CSC_INSTALLER_LINK as mentioned here: https://github.com/electron-userland/electron-builder/wiki/Code-Signing? But, then how can I get two artifacts out of that? Also, I want to know how should I provide my entitlements file for electron-builder to use?

Thanks in advance,

I was able to resolve to get my app sandboxed by restarting my machine. I don't know why, but totally weird. Now, it is showing that my app is sandboxed.

However, when I start my app, its showing nothing but a spinner. My app gets hanged and is not responding anymore. Has anyone faced this issue before?

PS: I noticed that this is not due to the signing of the app, but its because of the entitlements file (plist file) mentioning that the app is sandboxed. Any ideas as to why the sandboxed app is not even starting completely?

Thanks in advance...

OS X bug, see electron/packager#323

Seems like its a known electron bug and here is the workaround.
