I’ve stopped development of my Mac app because LiveCode does not support in-app purchases (ie, allowing me to get paid) and the deployment hassle is just not worth it for an app that has no way to make money. There is NO REASON for each developer to painfully figure out how to deploy apps when

I'd love to see versions of Livecode stacks that assist with code signing and notarization for as many platforms as possible (I am aware of stacks for Windows and macOS) built into Livecode. That said, for my two major problems (1 on macOS and 1 on Windows), I don't think there is anything Liv
