MACOSX_BUNDLE_INFO_PLIST

Specify a custom Info.plist template for a macOS and iOS Application Bundle.

An executable target with :prop_tgt:MACOSX_BUNDLE enabled will be built as an application bundle on macOS. By default its Info.plist file is created by configuring a template called MacOSXBundleInfo.plist.in located in the :variable:CMAKE_MODULE_PATH. This property specifies an alternative template file name which may be a full path.

The following target properties may be set to specify content to be configured into the file:

MACOSX_BUNDLE_BUNDLE_NAME Sets CFBundleName. MACOSX_BUNDLE_BUNDLE_VERSION Sets CFBundleVersion. MACOSX_BUNDLE_COPYRIGHT Sets NSHumanReadableCopyright. MACOSX_BUNDLE_GUI_IDENTIFIER Sets CFBundleIdentifier. MACOSX_BUNDLE_ICON_FILE Sets CFBundleIconFile. MACOSX_BUNDLE_INFO_STRING Sets CFBundleGetInfoString. MACOSX_BUNDLE_LONG_VERSION_STRING Sets CFBundleLongVersionString. MACOSX_BUNDLE_SHORT_VERSION_STRING Sets CFBundleShortVersionString.

CMake variables of the same name may be set to affect all targets in a directory that do not have each specific property set. If a custom Info.plist is specified by this property it may of course hard-code all the settings instead of using the target properties.
