Uploading the resulting app to Itch.io as a zip is working both from the launcher and when opened from finder. Although you have to leave it for some random amount of time before it start working from Itch for some reason?

Example: https://gist.github.com/thomashope/7935ae8b99f037a4dd7d739c1d82a88f

The issue with the app not launching for a while after updating from the itch.io launcher was due to not bumping CFBundleVersion in the Info.plist.

I've updated the gist to automatically increase the bundle version on every run.

Updated to use the 'new' notartool instead of altool.
