Here's the notes for the KDE macOS chat:

State of the CI, invent.kde.org
    we can't do docker for mac, CI is more complex
    we can use M1 to do x86 mac things
    we are getting hardware for running the CI
    we need to see what it looks like to use craft on invent.kde.org
    TODO Dawid has seen this, act on it https://cirrus-ci.org, maybe
he can help set up binary builds for mac.
Adoption of the different apps
    Our dependency on dbus is hindering our opportunity to bloom
there. Allowing to build without for apps that want to be on mac (and
windows and Android) is necessary.
    Licensing, Dawid pointed the VLC case out. TODO Dawid will
research the state of FOSS apps in the Apple Store.
who cares for KDE on mac?
    app devs who want mac users
Chat is a bit all over the place https://phabricator.kde.org/T15044mayb
App devs are not entirely aware of the state of app signing
