Into the future

No, you really have to go through all of that. The few helper stacks out 
there are just front ends (using the shell command to call command line 
utilities from xcode) that make it easier once you have everything set up.

Yes, it sucks.

Okay, I go to download xCode, and it will not install because my MacOS is too old! 10.15.1 is apparently ancient! So I am at the point now where I am asking myself, is this really worth it? After all the back and forth on the list where people's certificates expire, or the version of xCode they are forced to use isn't compatible with one thing or another, is building Mac standalones really worth it?
