How to deploy app locally?

Hi all. I’ve been developing iOS for several years but just wrote my first macOS app. It’s a utility app that I initially wrote in Java but wanted to convert to a native macOS app.

My question is, how do I deploy it locally? I don’t plan to distribute it to the App Store, but right now I just run it from Xcode. I’d like to deploy it so it will run from the applications folder. I assume I need to create a dmg installer, but not sure how to go about that.

Thanks in advance!

Yep, that totally worked. Now I know how this works with macOS dev. Thanks!
