Hi sergio This is great to hear that you will deploy your app. I really want that we really improve the deployment of Pharo App. Could you log and report to us what worked with you and what did not work. I would like that the community build and share some scripts. Sven in the past shared with us his build scripts and it was a great start. There are in the deep into pharo book. Can you check if they help you.
