Hello everyone, I'm new to the Mac world as far as development goes - like super new, I don't know a thing.
I'm developing a WebApp that runs on Go and want to make an easy installation package for Mac users. I have come across pkgbuild
, productbuild
and have a bit of trouble figuring it out but it generally looks similar to developing DEB in Linux.
But I also see other threads here suggesting different ways. Basically my needs are these...
- I need to store the WebApp files together in the same directory.
- I need the installer to create a launchd daemon to actually run the WebApp as a service/daemon.
- I'd like to have a Desktop/Applications shortcut created that automatically loads a URL in your default browser.
What are your suggestions for my requirements?
