I’ve just submitted a 100% pure Java app Samurai packaged with Java 17 to the Mac App Store.
Samurai is an analysis tool for Java developers.
It is said that by packaging your app using javafxpackager, or jpackage, you can submit your Java App to the Mac App Store. But I see very limited information about the procedure.
Here I’m keeping the record of the timeline of the submission.
