In the docs: Solar2D Documentation — Developer Guides | Building/Distribution, it says i can build a macos app without being signed, so when i build it without a provisioning profile i get this error: ERROR: Missing Provisioning Profile: Choose a provisioning profile from the list
I finally gave up and created an adhoc provisioning profile because I could never get the apps to launch no matter what commands I entered in the terminal.
Important to note! I needed to manually move my provisioning profile out of downloads and into ~/Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning Profiles to get it to show up on the dropdown in the build window.
