-macOS app bundling guide
-========================
-
-Install Code Signing Certificate
---------------------------------
-
-* Go to https://developer.apple.com/account/resources/certificates/list
-* Download the Developer ID Application certificate.
-* Double click the file and add to key chain (default options).
-* Delete the file from the Downloads folder.
-
-* You will also need to install a .p12 public/private key file for the
-  certificate. This is only available for the owner of the Blender account,
-  or can be exported and copied from another system that already has code
-  signing set up.
-
-Find the codesigning identity by running:
-
-$ security find-identity -v -p codesigning
-
-"Developer ID Application: Stichting Blender Foundation" is the identity needed.
-The long code at the start of the line is used as <identity> below.
-
-Setup Apple ID
---------------
-
-* The Apple ID must have two step verification enabled.
-* Create an app specific password for the code signing app (label can be anything):
-https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204397
-* Add the app specific password to keychain:
-
-$ security add-generic-password -a <apple-id> -w <app-specific-password> -s altool-password
-
-When running the bundle script, there will be a popup. To avoid that either:
-* Click Always Allow in the popup
-* In the Keychain Access app, change the Access Control settings on altool-password
-
-Bundle
-------
-
-Then the bundle is created as follows:
-
-$ ./bundle.sh --source <sourcedir> --dmg <dmg> --bundle-id <bundleid> --username <apple-id> --password "@keychain:altool-password" --codesign <identity>
-
-<sourcedir>  directory where built Blender.app is
-<dmg>	       location and name of the final disk image
-<bundleid>   id on notarization, for example org.blenderfoundation.blender.release
-<apple-id>   your appleid email
-<identity>   codesigning identity
-
-When specifying only --sourcedir and --dmg, the build will not be signed.
-
-Example :
-$ ./bundle.sh --source /data/build/bin --dmg /data/Blender-2.8-alpha-macOS-10.11.dmg --bundle-id org.blenderfoundation.blender.release --username "foo@mac.com" --password "@keychain:altool-password" --codesign AE825E26F12D08B692F360133210AF46F4CF7B97

-summary: Blender is the free and open source 3D creation suite.
-description: |
-    Blender is the free and open source 3D creation suite. It supports the
-    entirety of the 3D pipeline—modeling, rigging, animation, simulation,
-    rendering, compositing and motion tracking, and video editing.
-
-    Blender is a public project, made by hundreds of people from around the
-    world; by studios and individual artists, professionals and hobbyists,
-    scientists, students, VFX experts, animators, game artists, modders, and
-    the list goes on.
-
-    The standard snap channels are used in the following way:
-
-           stable - Latest stable release.
-        candidate - Test builds for the upcoming stable release.

-Creating Steam builds for Blender
-=================================
-
-This script automates creation of the Steam files: download of the archives,
-extraction of the archives, preparation of the build scripts (VDF files), actual
-building of the Steam game files.
-
-Requirements
-============
-
-* MacOS machine - Tested on Catalina 10.15.6. Extracting contents from the DMG
-  archive did not work Windows nor on Linux using 7-zip. All DMG archives tested
-  failed to be extracted. As such only MacOS is known to work.
-* Steam SDK downloaded from SteamWorks - The `steamcmd` is used to generate the
-  Steam game files. The path to the `steamcmd` is what is actually needed.
-* SteamWorks credentials - Needed to log in using `steamcmd`.
-* Login to SteamWorks with the `steamcmd` from the command-line at least once -
-  Needded to ensure the user is properly logged in. On a new machine the user
-  will have to go through two-factor authentication.
-* App ID and Depot IDs - Needed to create the VDF files.
-* Python 3.x - 3.7 was tested.
-* Base URL - for downloading the archives.
-
-Usage
-=====
-
-```bash
-$ export STEAMUSER=SteamUserName
-$ export STEAMPW=SteamUserPW
-$ export BASEURL=https://download.blender.org/release/Blender2.83/
-$ export VERSION=2.83.3
-$ export APPID=appidnr
-$ export WINID=winidnr
-$ export LINID=linuxidnr
-$ export MACOSID=macosidnr
-
-# log in to SteamWorks from command-line at least once
-
-$ ../sdk/tools/ContentBuilder/builder_osx/steamcmd +login $STEAMUSER $STEAMPW
-
-# once that has been done we can now actually start our tool
-
-$ python3.7 create_steam_builds.py --baseurl $BASEURL --version $VERSION --appid $APPID --winid $WINID --linuxid $LINID --macosid $MACOSID --steamuser $STEAMUSER --steampw $STEAMPW --steamcmd ../sdk/tools/ContentBuilder/builder_osx/steamcmd
-```
-
-All arguments in the above example are required.
-
-At the start the tool will login using `steamcmd`. This is necessary to let the
-Steam SDK update itself if necessary.
-
-There are a few optional arguments:
-
-* `--dryrun`: If set building the game files will not actually happen. A set of
-  log files and a preview manifest per depot will be created in the output folder.
-  This can be used to double-check everything works as expected.
-* `--skipdl`: If set will skip downloading of the archives. The tool expects the
-  archives to already exist in the correct content location.
-* `--skipextract`: If set will skip extraction of all archives. The tool expects
-  the archives to already have been correctly extracted in the content location.
-
-Run the tool with `-h` for detailed information on each argument.
-
-The content and output folders are generated through appending the version
-without dots to the words `content` and `output` respectively, e.g. `content2833`
-and `output2833`. These folders are created next to the tool.
-
-From all `.template` files the Steam build scripts will be generated also in the
-same directory as the tool. The files will have the extension `.vdf`.
-
-In case of errors the tool will have a non-zero return code.
