reva VS appify

Before I deep dive into the architecture of what I rebuilt the app during the hackathon, I would like to tell about my experiences in my words. When I first came across #GO Hack Challenge on devpost, I was overwhelming to find related tracks which I could be fit for and tutorials to enrich my knowledge here and there to get into it. It was really a learning opportunity to someone who is newbie and contribute or build any stuff under the hood. I stepped into the open source projects under CERN Foundation, where I didn’t even know what the ecosystem around the project is. I was much curious then. Next, I delved into one of the projects for a few days and looked into a few issues and made a small contribution to it by fixing one of the bugs. I moved to another track where we needed to build any app based on golang. I came to know about use of generic function which is currently released and used in Go >= 18 Version. I managed to rebuild an app using Gin-Gonic framework and use the generic function usage in my app.

The advantage of that above just a simple "these tests are allowed to fail" is that, after adding a feature or fixing a bug, the developer is forced to look into the tests. If tests start to pass, the only job the developer has to do, is to remove them from the expected-to-fail list, and what a joy is that 🎉. From that point on the test has to pass in all future runs, and we are sure not to introduce any regressions. If we would only have an allowed-to-fail list, there would be no pressure to remove tests from that list, humans are humans, so they would forget or miss some. Potentially a bug could get fixed, then see some regression again and none of that would be noticed by the test-suite. So let the computers do what they are good at - automate!

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.
