Build from source on MacOS prompts for password about theia-blueprint HOT 5 CLOSED

After reading the documentation at https://theia-ide.org/docs/blueprint_documentation/, using yarn start works fine and lets me build the application and run it locally. Still think the packaging is an issue though. It might help to provide instructions as to how to modify the build scripts for use without your ci pipeline for local build or maybe make them configurable, as a suggestion.

theia-blueprint isn't designed to be packaged by the end user. The packaging scripts are unique to the Eclipse CI infrastructure.

I agree with @thegecko that packaging and signing is very infra specific and difficult to document in general.

In the documentation there is a pointer electron builder about how to sign also.

Related PR, that will make it possible to package locally on Mac without signing getting in the way. Obviously, the package will then not be signed: #139
