Nowadays a functioning maOS app requires notarization and signing
(otherwise OS will keep nagging you, and probably won't even let you
install it) - which is not there,
and it's a bit tricky task to set up.

And it seems to me x86_64 only, whereas it's increasingly aarch64
(arm64) as far as
Apple's machines go.

Here is a Sage's macOS app: https://github.com/3-manifolds/Sage_macOS
