I sell digital downloads for an OSx software. I have an installer that users download that is a .app installer. I want them to be able to run the .app and let it install the product for them. The installation process covers validation as well as copying folders to certain places on their computers so that my product will work for them.
However now I have found people who are pirating and sharing my products simply by right clicking on the .app and going into "Show Package Contents". Through this method they are grabbing all the contents they need without actually running the .app to do the installation for them and validate their purchase.
Are there any permissions setting that will allow them to run the .app but not open or view the "Show Package Contents"? I have tried as many permissions settings that I can think of but when I restrict permissions to where they can't view the content then my installer no longer works and wont move the directories where they need to be for a successful installation.
Is there any way around this?
Thanks in advance
