      @d-healey Sir, Is This Only Works This Way?
      Hise Export To Installer?

      Or Can We Use This For Packaging Other Things, Such As PDF Guides?
      I Mean Can We Include Any Files To The End Installer?

      BTW, This Is A Brilliant Idea, Will Jump In The TRain In Release Date <3
      God Bless You, Sir David, You Are An Inspiration 👏 :folded_hands_light_skin_tone:

        @Natanr In a single process it can compile projects and create an installer with a bundled license file and user guide. On MacOS it can also codesign and notarize (as long as you have valid Apple credentials). If you want to add extra files they need to be placed in to the packaging folder manually before the installer is generated, this part though won't work on Windows as the installer template is predefined.

              @d-healey just like a .component or .vst place it in the package hierarchy.

                        @Lindon yeah that why I'm mention about dmg. There's no good place to store documentation. We can save them in application support company/plugin.

                        Even big companies don't install docs.

                          right - so I think you are saying "there is no standard place for documentation on Mac"...

                          let me add "There is no standard place for documentation on Windows"

                          and then observe:

                          Not having a standard place to store documentation should be no reason for not including it in your installer..

                          YMMV

                                I was going to make a folder in applications with the company name and a sub folder for docs, e.g. /Applications/libre wave/documentation. I think this is what native instruments does but I need to check.

                                    It seems there is some issue with adding pdf files using the pkgbuild and productbuild tools, and not much info online. So I'm going to revert to packaging on Mac via WhiteboxPackages, this will be from a template file that my app automatically configures but it does impose some limitations I was hoping to avoid. But I think it will be suitable for most situations so not too bad.

                                    Anyone know how to add a post installer script to a Whitebox Packages installer? I can see how to do it for individual components but not for the entire installer.

                                      Got a strange issue with MacOS installers. When I build the installer through Whitebox Packages everything seems to go smoothly, but after I run the install and install the app/plugins I go to open the standalone application and it won't run. When I expand the application bundle I can see a little no-entry sign indicating I don't have permission to run it. Have any of you had this issue or know of the solution?

                                      Here's a screenshot of the bundle in packages showing the permissions, let me know if this is different to how you have yours set up.Screen Shot 2020-12-12 at 9.21.53 PM.png

                                        I figured out the problem. It's because I compiled the binaries over a network drive, looks like everything needs to be local on MacOS

                                          I'm just ironing out a few bugs then I'll build the beta executables for each platform and make them available on Patreon.
