Creating an app for distribution

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

Incidentally, you should look into packages.

A package in OS X is a directory that the system discloses to users as a file.

To see how a package is built, simply go to one of the Apple applications in the Applications folder (e.g. Address Book) and right (or control-) click on it and choose "Show Package Contents". All of this stuff is documented on Apple's website ... somewhere.

I actually haven't checked to see whether Blitz compiles apps as packages or not. If it does, it's easy to add stuff to a package this way. If not, it's easy to distribute your app and all its associated files as a package, making the whole thing much simpler and more attractive -- i.e. "mac-like" -- for your users.
