Sell macOS Apps outside App Store

Hi, I’m Meet Jethwa —

If you want to distribute, license, and sell your macOS software directly to users without paying the App Store cut or dealing with strict sandboxing restrictions, this session is tailored for you.

This is a hands-on, actionable strategy session designed to take you from local build to independent distribution.

What We’ll Cover & Implement:

• Developer ID & Signing: Set up Apple Developer certificates to correctly sign your app binaries.
• Notarization: Run your build through Apple’s notarization service to prevent macOS Gatekeeper warnings ("App can't be opened because it is from an unidentified developer").
• Licensing & Monetization Integration: Choose and integrate payment platforms built for non-App Store software (Lemon Squeezy, Paddle, Gumroad, or custom license verification).
• Distribution & Packaging: Package your app cleanly into signed .dmg or .pkg installers.
• Auto-Updates: Implement seamless in-app update frameworks like Sparkle.

Who Is This For?

• Indie developers, SwiftUI builders, and macOS engineers looking to own their customer relationship and distribution.
• Creators wanting to bypass Apple App Store fees and sandboxing constraints.
