Description
Version: Deno 2.9.6
MacOS 12.7.6 Monterey M1
something in the build process has obviously been changed in 2.9.6 so now all prod builds are getting a signing error on laufey_webview. The app will still launch but the message of 'resource fork, Finder information, or similar detritus not allowed' is a bit disconcerting.
deno.json - as per docs and pre-2.9.6
"output": {
"macos": "./dist/DenoBasic.app",
Result on build with 2.9.6 -
% deno desktop -A main.js
⚠ deno desktop is experimental and subject to change
Compile main.js to ./dist/DenoBasic.app.dylib
Embedded Files
DenoBasic.app.dylib
└── main.js (3.28KB)
Files: 4.73KB
Metadata: 1.37KB
Remote modules: 12B
Codesigning bundle with identity "-"
./dist/DenoBasic.app.app/Contents/MacOS/libruntime.dylib: replacing existing signature
./dist/DenoBasic.app.app/Contents/MacOS/laufey_webview: replacing existing signature
./dist/DenoBasic.app.app/Contents/MacOS/laufey_webview: resource fork, Finder information, or similar detritus not allowed
error: codesign failed for ./dist/DenoBasic.app.app/Contents/MacOS/laufey_webview (identity "-")
Updated - removed .app in deno.json config but still get the signing error.

Bundle DenoBasic.app
Note: also noticed that if I try to specify .dmg as the output the build process simply produces a .app bundle rather than a dmg image.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start with the deno.json macOS output setting and main.js, then reproduce `deno desktop -A main.js` on Deno 2.9.6 and compare it with 2.9.5. Trace the desktop macOS bundle signing path around laufey_webview and verify whether the `.dmg` output behavior is related. Done means the production app bundle signs without the resource-fork error and the reported output behavior is clarified.
