Description
Hi @karlsabo ,
as I mentioned recently, my game stopped working on MacOS, the app shows up in the dock when I force-launch it via settings menu, but then just nothing happens. It used to work fine with the latest version of your fork and nothing game-wise really changed from what I know.
Updating packr to 3.0.0-SNAPSHOT did not resolve the issue.
Is there some debugging I can do to get some useful information on why this happens (it's an app bundle)?
Do I have to sign the app?
Also the icon I set is not shown for the app bundle.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks again for your efforts.

Start by reproducing the app-bundle launch failure on macOS and inspect the bundle for debugging information. Check the app-bundle icon configuration and determine whether signing is involved; done means the game launches and the configured icon appears.
