+# FIDO2 Manager macOS Deployment Scripts
+
+This folder contains the deployment scripts for building, packaging, and preparing the **FIDO2 Manager** application on macOS. These scripts automate the entire process from compiling the C++ CLI binary to creating a distributable DMG with the GUI.
+
+> **Note:** These scripts are intended to be run on macOS (Apple Silicon preferred).
+
+ 
+
+## ⚡ Prerequisites
+
+Make sure you have the following installed:
+
+* macOS (13.0 or later recommended)
+* [Homebrew](https://brew.sh/)
+* Xcode command line tools
+* Python 3
+* CMake
+
+The deployment script will check for and install necessary Homebrew dependencies:
+
+* pkg-config
+* openssl@3
+* libcbor
+* zlib
+* python-tk
+
+---
+
+## 🏗 Deployment Steps
+
+1. **These script should be in  the project root**  
+2. **Make the main deployment script executable**:
+
+```bash
+chmod +x deploy_macos.sh
+```
+
+3. **Run the deployment script**:
+
+```bash
+./deploy_macos.sh
+```
+
+This will:
+
+* Set up a Python virtual environment
+* Build the C++ CLI (`fido2-token2`)
+* Bundle required libraries
+* Build the macOS GUI app with PyInstaller
+* Fix library linking for macOS
+* Optionally code-sign the app if `sign_macos_app.sh` is present
+* Create a DMG for distribution
+
+---
+
+## 🧪 Verification
+
+After running the script:
+
+* The final `.app` bundle will be in:
+
+```
+dist/fido2-manage.app
+```
+
+* The distributable DMG will be in:
+
+```
+dist/fido2-manage.dmg
+```
+
+* The script performs a self-contained check to ensure all required libraries are bundled and CLI commands work.
+
+---
+
+## ⚙ Customization
+
+* **Icon:** Place your `icon.icns` in the project root to replace the placeholder icon.
+* **Code signing:** If you have an Apple Developer ID, ensure `sign_macos_app.sh` exists and is executable. The deployment script will prompt to sign the app.
+
+---
+
+## 📝 Notes
+
+* Avoid spaces in your project directory path. The build process handles them but may fail in some cases.
+* The script assumes ARM64 architecture. Modify `CMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES` in the script if you need x86_64 support.
+* If you encounter missing libraries, check the `staging` folder and ensure `bundle_libs.sh` and `fix_macos_linking.sh` exist.
+
+---
+
+## ⚡ Quick Tips
+
+* To rebuild from scratch, you can safely delete `build/`, `dist/`, and `.venv/` before running the script.
+* Use the final DMG to distribute the app; it contains everything needed to run on other macOS machines.
