[feat]: Change structure to support Apple Store

[digiserg]

I'm trying to submit the Workbench app to the Apple Store but I have encountered a problem with the file structure and third party binaries.

In essence, App Store apps must be self-contained. That is, all the code in the app must be included in the package you submit to the store.

it looks like we can't use asarUnpack either as this leads to multiple files instead of a single binary

@mhmdkrmabd you mentioned there was another build format that might resolve this. Could you add the info here?

Thanks @millerjp

So based on the feedback from @digiserg, the issue might be due to the bundling process of the app's code in an asar file, therefore, we might not do that only for macOS.

Doing this shouldn't lead to apply any changes in the code as we're not relying, in any part of the code, on having it - the source code - bundled. What we might just need is updating the electron-builder command for macOS by passing a --config argument with a config file for macOS, inside that file, we can set asar to be false, and this should be enough.

"mac:mas": "electron-builder --mac dmg zip pkg --publish never --config='custom-config.json'"
