Creating an app for distribution

Miscellaneous Forums/MacOS X Discussion/Creating an app for distribution

Most OS X users will expect your App to be packaged as a Disk Image (dmg) file. It also happens to be Apple's preferred method of distributing files. You can use the "Disk Utility" under /Applications/Utilities to make a dmg.

Installer Packages (.pkg files made with the "Package Maker" utility) are fine, but they should only be used when you can't fit everything inside of the Application itself.
