appify VS macdriver

I have tried various existing solutions such as https://github.com/machinebox/appify, but they just don't seem to work for me, my Unix Executable runs fine under normal circumstances, but with this tool the .app file just crashes straight away with no console output.

You can port the project to XCode or use this: https://github.com/machinebox/appify

Maybe you can get together with this project (not affiliated). I've used it many times to make Mac installers. I think there's been a few requests to add functionality similar to what your project does.

The first big release of the year was the macdriver project, which got a significant response on Hacker News. It gives us Objective-C and Apple framework bindings for Go, letting you build simple Apple apps entirely from Go. That wasn't possible before, so it was a little exciting, but it was early. The native Go APIs included for commonly used Foundation and Cocoa classes were far from complete. They could still be used if you knew what you were doing, but with an ideal of total coverage of Apple frameworks, that wouldn't be enough. There were also unresolved issues just deciding how to best manage memory and pointers, which I knew would fall on me to figure out and take some time.

Even less common are schemas for non-web APIs. In 2016, Electron started releasing a JSON schema of all their APIs that allowed me to build a bridge to use Electron APIs from Go. I had that prototype in mind when I started the macdriver project that was released a couple months ago. Right now we're manually wrapping Apple framework classes with Go types so you can write native Apple platform applications that look like this:

It started as a demo for macdriver, but over the last week or so I've been making a standalone version. 90% of that time was playing around with it while trying to make demos.
