The learning curve is kind of steep, but by patient experiment, you will be able to get what you want done. I do not know Iceberg and used PackageMaker.
So an installer could take care of placing each file where it is needed. It does pretty much what you describe, including a data file for settings and 15 fonts.Ī simple DMG would require instructing the user into copying each folder/file in the proper place, and installing fonts. I have been distributing for years an installer for MICR Wizard from which is written in Xojo. You do not need to codesign to distribute from your own site. I’d hazard a guess that barely covers the cost of giving away Xcode and any of the other tools that Apple gives away. No wonder they sitting on billions.Īpple’s sitting on billions because of the sales of iPods, iPads & iPhones - not because developers pay $99 a year.
#MAC CREATE DMG HOW TO#
Apple sure does know how to squeeze every little cent out of it’s suckers. Until I get some capitol from selling my software, then in the future I’ll be able to do this certificate business.
#MAC CREATE DMG SOFTWARE#
Quite literally you won’t need an installer UNLESS you have hard declares to frameworks.Īnd you probably should not be putting things in /library/frameworks anywaysīefore anybody says ‘Well, you’d best be doing this via appstore’, I didn’t make this software because I’m rich. That way even if the user goes around & deletes these things on you your app is “self repairing”. Then when you first run detect that things are missing from where they are expected to be and copy them from inside your app bundle to the right places. The “installer” should just copy your app to the users Applications directory (something like the IDE does with the local language reference)
#MAC CREATE DMG INSTALL#
The best way is to not have to do it at all - at least not at install time. Put in the frameworks folder (/library/frameworks/) a folder with contains openAL filesĪnybody know anyway reasonable way to do this?īefore anybody says ‘Well, you’d best be doing this via appstore’, I didn’t make this software because I’m rich. Put my data folder with all it’s stuff in the application support folder I will be able to do all this with windows in no time flat - but the mac way makes me want to go to the corner with a cap sporting a big “D” on it.Īll I want to do is create a zip or dmg file to do this: I also downloaded Iceberg as the magical Bob Keeney suggested this - but I can’t understand all the way the files work I want to have the user download it from my website as a dmg and install it.ĪppWrapper from ohanaware (useless as it needs a certificate for signing)ĭMGCanvas - equally useless and totally featureless as I can see I’m not right now interested on selling it through the macstore (maybe sometime in the future - right now I cannot afford a developer account) so I’m not needing a certificate for signing it.
Hi there - after 3 -4 years I’m ready to release my product.
