## AI overview

Codename One 7.0.250 adds a native macOS application target that builds from the existing iOS pipeline without bundling a JVM. Desktop integration also adds native window chrome, menus, interactive scrollbars, and notifications, while Mac signing remains an infrastructure gap.

## Source excerpt

The same Codename One project can now build a REAL native Mac app through the iOS pipeline, and a deeper desktop layer gives it a real title bar, a native menu bar, interactive scrollbars, and desktop notifications.
