We are planning to package our Coder Desktop app for distribution outside the App Store, since our architecture of downloading the Go dylib won't fly there. We also want to make CoderVPN a system extension.

Unfortunately, there is a complex process to get an application ready for distribution that isn't supported well in Xcode. Specifically, the entitlements for an outside-the-AppStore system extension are different than for development, and Xcode doesn't understand this. So automating distribution will take some effort outside of Xcode, while we leave the repo mostly in the correct state for development outside of building signed releases.

The steps required are outlined in this forums post:https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/737894
