Steam/Mac OS upload prosess

So, I bought a mac book recently to port my game to mac, I’ve gotten pretty much everything working and packaged. Now I need to figure out how to upload the mac version to steam.

All I can find is vague things about using the steam pipe GUI or what not to upload it, but I cannot for the life of me find a version of the steam pipe GUI that will work on mac.

I’m also hearing that apple needs to notarize the game? none of the places I’ve read up on that have actually answered my question on what that entails and what I need to do to get that.

As far I understand there is no Steampipe GUI available for the mac, but related commands can be executed in the terminal app. You also could try to package your game on Windows (with remote packaging on the mac) and to distribute it from there.

But these are all assumptions, as I have never uploaded a game to Steam and probably never will :sob:

I’m not sure what role Apple plays in this, since you distribute your game via Steam rather than the App Store. If you are not distributing the game exclusively in Europe, where other app stores may also be used, I would be cautious.
