+ \section2 \macos Specific Deployment Steps
+
+ To deploy a \QWE application on \macos, you will need to ensure that the \QWE process is signed
+ with an entitlements file that at least contains the entitlements listed in
+ QtWebEngineCore.framework/Helpers/QtWebEngineProcess.app/Contents/Resources/QtWebEngineProcess.entitlements.
+
+ To deploy a \QWE application that accesses the microphone or camera
+ on \macos, you will need to provide texts for the messages that will be shown to the user to
+ explain why the application asks for permission to access to the camera or microphone.
+ To do this, add the texts to the application's \c Info.plist file using the keys
+ described below.
+
+ For the camera usage message, provide a text using the following key:
+ \code
+ <key>NSCameraUsageDescription</key>
+ <string>Your message text for camera usage.</string>
+ \endcode
+
+ See also \l{https://developer.apple.com/documentation/bundleresources/information_property_list/nscamerausagedescription}
+ {Apple's property list file documentation}.
+
+ For the microphone usage message, provide a text using the following key:
+ \code
+ <key>NSMicrophoneUsageDescription</key>
+ <string>Your message text for microphone usage.</string>
+ \endcode
+
+ See also \l{https://developer.apple.com/documentation/bundleresources/information_property_list/nsmicrophoneusagedescription}
+ {Apple's property list file documentation}.
+
+ To notarize an application that accesses the camera or the microphone,
+ you will need to add the corresponding keys to your application's entitlements file used for
+ deployment and notarization.
+
+ To enable access to the camera, add:
+ \code
+ <key>com.apple.security.device.camera</key>
+ <true/>
+ \endcode
+
+ See also \l{https://developer.apple.com/documentation/bundleresources/entitlements/com_apple_security_device_camera}
+ {Apple's camera entitlement documentation}.
+
+ To enable access to the microphone, add:
+ \code
+ <key>com.apple.security.device.microphone</key>
+ <true/>
+ \endcode
