Re: Installer for Mac OS X ?

Hello and welcome to our forums,

You can easily create a ZIP package for MAC OS if you follow our "Creating a Mac OS X package for a Java application" article steps. Also, we have a video tutorial about Packaging Java applications for Mac OS X.

If there is anything we can assist you with just let us know.

All the best,
Daniel

Hello,

No, I'm afraid we don't have support to build .pkg installers for Mac OS. You can only build a self extracting ZIP package using our Mac OS X build support. Maybe such an improvement will be embedded in Advanced Installer in the future too.

All the best,
