How Do I Deploy and Distribute My Morph App?

morph build --static produces a fully self-contained binary with zero external dependencies.

Quick Answer

morph build --static
# Output: .morph/output/my-app
./my-app   # runs anywhere on the same OS/arch

Platform Packages

Platform	Recommended Format	Tool
Linux	AppImage	appimagetool
Linux	Flatpak / Snap	flatpak-builder / snapcraft
macOS	.app + DMG	create-dmg, notarytool
Windows	MSI / portable ZIP	WiX, signtool

Code Signing

• Linux: GPG detached signatures for binaries/AppImages
• macOS: codesign --deep --sign "Developer ID Application: ..." + notarytool submit + stapler staple
• Windows: signtool sign /tr http://timestamp.digicert.com /fd sha256

Reproducible Builds

Pin the runtime version and commit the lock file:

{
  "runtime": { "type": "cpp", "version": "0.2.0" }
}

Commit morph.lock — it records the exact SHA256.
