Caprine: Publish in the Mac App Store
Would be nice and would give us auto-update functionality on OS X for free. I'm happy to do the actual publish, but I need help with setting up the build script and stuff.

Wouldn't it be better to simply use Electron's built-in auto-updater? That way you will get the latest version automatically out of the box and as an additional bonus you don't have to bother with the app store acceptance.

It's not really about the auto-updating anymore, but the Mac App Store brings convenience for the user, so yes, it's worth it.

@AshikNesin It's all set up on the builder side of things. I just couldn't get it to launch locally when built for MAS and it got rejected from the App Store for not launching. Help welcome to debug it.

Closing as it will not be possible to publish this to the App Store... https://github.com/sindresorhus/caprine/pull/903#issuecomment-529078516
