My program was previously distributed as a package with a zipper, but now I plan to add a daemon that should start after installation. Therefore, I decide to create a package during installation, which will be run after installing the script. First, I create a simple package as follows:
productbuil --component MyAppName.app /Applications --sign "common name of my certificate" MyAppName.pkg
and try to install it.
The installation was successful, but after I did not find the application in the / Application directory. Although inverstigatin this poltergaste I found in /var/log/install.log this line:
installd [1954]: PackageKit: Applications /MyAppName.app moved to Users / myUserName / PAServer / scratch-dir / UserName1.Kh-profileName / MyAppName.app
After that, I find this answer Creating OS X installer packages such as Pro-Xcode Developer ID ready pkg and try to execute the commands found in it.
pkgbuild --analyze --root./MyProgram.app MyProgram.app.plist
pkgbuild: Listing package components from content. /MyProgram.app pkgbuild: writing a new list of component properties to MyProgram.app1.plist
Where I plan to edit the plist file, but first I tried to create a simple assembly package with default options.
pkgbuild --root./MyProgram.app - Component-plist. /MyProgram.app.plist MyProgram.pkg pkgbuild: Reading components from./MyProgram.app.plist pkgbuild: error: there is no package identifier specified and not quite one component to receive it.
What's wrong?
-----------------------------
I am also trying to install an old version of the additional Xcode tools to use PackageMaker, but I cannot find the documentation (I need to use PackageMaker from the command line), even if I install XCode 4.5. I can’t create packages manually from the GUI tools, because the end-user package contains a unique resource library, and manual assembly is too expensive. Therefore, I am looking for methods of automatic construction.
