app bundle so that users can easily find our application in the /Applications folderįrom what I've gathered so far a bundle is a collection of folders and files that follow a specific structure: However, based on feedback from another forum this is not recommended as it's a 'Windows thing' and desktop shortcuts shouldn't be misused to start applications on a Mac There seem to be at least two ways to improve the user experience: However, there's no easy way for our users to start the application - they need to go and look for the installation folder and locate the startup shell script themselves and run it in a terminal window.
Our DMG installer works fine, our application is installed as instructed. So we have the input files like distribution.xml, license.html and welcome.html in place and Omnibus takes care of the heavy lifting. For Mac specifically we've followed the these guidelines to build a DMG installer. We generate our installers for all three OSs using Omnibus. We have a Java application that runs on Windows, Mac and Ubuntu. I'm looking for advice related to creating DMG installers with Chef/Omnibus.
