Reply to Changing Dock Icon for my Qt app
I'm replying to let you know that you are an absolute legend :D this is exactly what I needed. I've been implementing a post-install icon change from the custom installer to the app itself and it works so smoothly. It's MUCH better than all the hacky stuff I was trying to do earlier. Thank you so much, I can now sleep with a clear mind

Reply to Changing Dock Icon for my Qt app
Thank you for the reply it's really helpful! For the name in the menu bar issue I'll probably stick to a name (at compile time) that can be generic enough for all other versions of the app so as to avoid all of that For the icon issue I noticed you said: The first is to have a post-install script that applies a custom icon to your app. This has one key advantage: It’s easy to implement (-: Specifically, setting a custom icon doesn’t affect the app’s code signature. How exactly? The reason I'm doing these Dock icon change shenanigans is because I tried changing the icon of the app after installation and it somehow breaks the signature. Do I change it from the app itself after it launches? or do I change it from the installer app ? The installer app downloads the main app and then extracts it to an appropriate location
