Description

Hello WindTerm team,

I have noticed that the Info.plist file within the macOS application bundle is missing several crucial keys which are essential for application identification and versioning. Specifically, the missing keys are:

- `CFBundleShortVersionString` (Public version number)
- `CFBundleVersion` (Internal build number)
- `CFBundleDisplayName` (The name displayed beneath the app icon)
- `CFBundleName` (The name used by the system to identify the app)

These keys are essential for the proper identification and functionality of the application on macOS environments. Their absence might affect the application's visibility and operability in the system.

Could you please address these issues in the next update?

Thank you for your attention to this matter and for your continued efforts to improve the application.

Research direction

Start by locating the macOS application's Info.plist or the build configuration that generates it. Check how the application bundle is assembled and add the four requested bundle keys with appropriate values. Done means the built macOS application contains these keys in its Info.plist and identifies its name and version correctly.
