[CMake] CPack Generator for the Mac App Store

[Brian Milco]

Hi,

I've added a CPack package generator for the Mac App Store for your
consideration. You can find it on github:
https://github.com/iPenguin/cmake/tree/cpack-mac-app-store-generator

This is a first draft, but it should work to get a basic application
uploaded via Apple's "Application Loader". I have no idea if this will work
for the iOS App Store. Suggestions and comments are appreciated.

This patch also includes code signing which is required by the Mac App
Store, but it should also correctly sign your Bundle or DragNDrop packages
to get your application working with OS X 10.8's default Gatekeeper
settings if you supply a developer certificate.

If you're building your app for distribution via the Mac App Store, and
your website or other channels you might want to add something like the
following to your CMakeLists.txt:

    if(${APP_STORE})
        set(CPACK_GENERATOR "MacAppStore")

        #The names of the App Store certs you got from Apple iTunesConnect
        set(CPACK_APPLE_CERT_APP "3rd Party Mac Developer Application:
[YOUR NAME]")
        set(CPACK_APPLE_CERT_INSTALLER "3rd Party Mac Developer Installer:
[YOUR NAME]")

        #The plist file containing your sandboxing entitlements[1]
        set(CPACK_APPLE_ENTITLEMENTS
"${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/resources/Entitlements.plist")

    else()
        set(CPACK_GENERATOR "Bundle")

        #The names of the Developer certs you got from Apple iTunesConnect
        set(CPACK_APPLE_CERT_APP "Developer ID Application: [YOUR NAME]")
        set(CPACK_APPLE_CERT_INSTALLER "Developer ID Installer: [YOUR
NAME]")
    endif()

    #A list of additional files that need to be code signed, ie Frameworks,
plugins, any additional binaries, etc.
    set(CPACK_APPLE_CODESIGN_FILES
"/Contents/Frameworks/QtCore.framework/Versions/4/QtCore"

"/Contents/Frameworks/QtGui.framework/Versions/4/QtGui")

    #how do I reference MACOSX_BUNDLE_GUI_IDENTIFIER directly in the
generator code?
    set(CPACK_APPLE_BUNDLE_ID "${MACOSX_BUNDLE_GUI_IDENTIFIER}")
