From last time I looked into this, I seem to recall that you need a MacOS SDK which explicitly must only be used on Apple hardware. Furthermore it seemed that you probably also have to join some Apple developer program in order to sign the application and prevent the OS from hassling the user (although I did not look closer into this as I do not own Apple hardware).

The signing process that you're thinking of mostly applies to packaged macOS apps that you download through a browser and run from the Finder. When you download an executable, the app that does the downloading (like a browser) marks it as quarantined, and that's what causes macOS to block you from running it if it's not signed. But you can:

* Just tell users to download using curl or some other utility that doesn't put it in quarantine (this is what Homebrew does).
* Tell users to manually remove the quarantine flag from the command line.
* Tell users to click through the block.
* Distribute the package through Homebrew so users can just type "brew install vbc."
