This integrates code from https://github.com/nilason/grass-conda which has be used for a couple of years to create macOS binary distribution packages.
It makes it simple to build an app bundle on a machine with Apple's Command Line Tools and/or Xcode installed:
Because it downloads and installs the conda environment each time it is not ideal as a developer environment/solution, but for occasional builds and, most importantly, the possibility to create distributions with CI, it is excellent.
This update doesn't include CI workflow. Although I'm working on a workflow (which so far creates an app packaged in a dmg file), but additional work on notarisation and server uploading remains.
@cmbarton, others: Please note the addition of use configure file(s) in
$HOME/.config/grass:which simplifies the process to only running the script (without arguments).
This code originates from ideas and bits from https://grasswiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Compiling_on_macOS_using_Anaconda and https://github.com/mcflugen/grass-conda-build.
