Xojo Build Automation using GitHub Actions

Would you like to automate the build processes of Xojo built applications with GitHub Actions? With no user interaction the whole process is being performed: Build all Targets, CodeSign Windows executables, create and sign the installer, package the macOS app in a .dmg and notarize the app, and for Linux a .tgz package.

Included in this repository:

• Documentation: Xojo-GitHub-Actions.pdf
• Source: Xojo IDE Communicator
• Example Xojo Project: Xojo-GitHub-Actions.xojo_project
  • Build Resources
    • Windows: CodeSigning, Installer
    • macOS: CodeSigning, DMG Creation, Notarization (using Xojo2DMG)
    • Linux: Post Build Script (to create a .tgz)
  • GitHub Actions Workflows
    • Beta Build
    • Create Release
    • Xojo (a resuable Workflow to build Xojo applications)

The following ScreenShots have been taken during the initial Development of the Workflows while using Xojo 2022r2. Even though their are outdated (and won't be updated) you should get the idea...
