Actually, dealing with the *installation* of that icon still needs to
be set up. It's currently only provided as part of the tarball.
Just need to copy the freeciv-client.icns file into
freeciv.app/Contents/Resources. If using a prebuilt infrastructure
freeciv.app bundle it would be part of that.

Should you also build gtk3 fcmp, to match gtk3.22-client you're providing?
Could, but I don't think we need to provide both. Mod pack installer not
going to used often.
(and one more step - moving
2 executables from the "bin" folder to the "MacOS" folder)
That should probably be --bindir parameter in the configure line
already, so that any paths baked into the freeciv build would be
correct. (Actually, how does your client find the server to launch as
you move it away from where it's expected?)
The client(s) expects to find the server in the bin folder by default
already, doesn't matter where the client is.
Looking at ticket 44399, you're thinking freeciv-<version>.app, e.g.
freeciv-3.2.app. I have just been using freeciv.app for every version.
Putting the version number in the name may be better, and I can change
the way I'm doing it. What that means is we would have to do a fresh
Homebrew install whenever the freeciv version changes. Which is what the
macOS/homebrew/hbinstall.sh would do.
Here's what my current process looks like, some of this is unique to my
machine setup.
1 Start with "freeciv 3.0 deploy-HB-Bundle.app" and "freeciv 3.0
master-HB-Bundle.app" in Applications folder,
and "freeciv3.x.xroot" folder in "...freeciv/builds" folder.
2 Put tarball in "freeciv3.x.xroot" folder and un-zip, rename resulting
folder to "source", create new "build" folder in "freeciv3.x.xroot"
folder, next to "source" folder.
3 Save a backup copy of Applications/freeciv.app, then delete freeciv.app.
4 Duplicate "freeciv 3.0 master-HB-Bundle.app" in Applications folder,
rename to "freeciv.app"
5 In terminal window -
cd /Volumes/Hogwarts2/freeciv/builds/freeciv3.x.xroot/build
../source/configure --disable-gtktest --disable-sdltest
--disable-sdl2test --disable-sdl2framework --enable-fcdb=sqlite3
--prefix=/Applications/freeciv.app/Contents/ --enable-fcmp=qt
--enable-client=qt,gtk3.22 CXXFLAGS=-std=c++11
PATH=/Applications/freeciv.app/Contents/Resources/bin:/Applications/freeciv.app/Contents/Resources/opt/qt5/bin/:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/Library/Apple/usr/bin
LDFLAGS="-L/Applications/freeciv.app/Contents/Resources/opt/qt5/lib
-L/Applications/freeciv.app/Contents/Resources/lib"
PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/Applications/freeciv.app/Contents/Resources/opt/icu4c/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH"
6 delete "freeciv.app", duplicate "freeciv 3.0 deploy-HB-Bundle.app" in
Applications folder, rename to "freeciv.app"
7 In terminal window -
make
make install
cd /Applications
touch freeciv.app
8 update version strings in "Info.plist"
9 move "freeciv-gtk3.22" & "freeciv-qt" from bin folder to MacOS folder
10 test "freeciv.app", if OK can delete backup copy of freeciv.app
