The mentioned build scripts will prepare `Release` builds ready for distribution. Once the script finishes, the `app/bin` folder will contain self-contained executables for each major operating system, and a portable version that works on all other systems but requires .NET 8 to be installed.
Note that when building on Windows, the generated `.zip` files for Linux and Mac will not have correct file permissions, so it will not be possible to run them by double-clicking `DiscordHistoryTracker`. I tried using Python to re-create the archives with correct file permissions, but found that Linux `zip` tools could not see them. The only working solution is building the Windows + portable version on Windows, and Linux + Mac version on Linux.
Note that when building on Windows, the generated `.zip` files for Linux and Mac will not have correct file permissions, so it will not be possible to run them by double-clicking the executable. Since .NET 8 fixed several issues with publishing Windows executables on Linux, I recommend using Linux to build the app for all operating systems.
