Package Builder

The internet is full of posts from people trying to create a macOS installer package correctly, which is a testament to how confusing and time consuming it can be. Your time is worth more. — Package Builder makes it super easy to build installer packages by simplifying the process: Simply drag and drop your files, set a few settings, and click “Build”. Done.

 

Create Mac Installers For …

…Applications, Fonts, Screensavers, Automator workflows, Shortcuts, Extensions, Device Component Plugins, Sounds, Preference Panes, Input Managers, Color Pickers, Desktop Pictures, and anything else.

 

Background Image

Set a background image. Package Builder helps you attain the “typical look” that users expect.

 

Localized Text

The install application supports an Introduction and Read Me before the installation, and a Summary after the installation.

 

License Agreements

By adding a license agreement (localized in multiple languages), you can require the user agree before installing continues.

 

Install Scripts

Run custom Pre- and Post-Install shell scripts that you write, to perform any advanced use cases like handling existing files or restarting running services.

 

Install

Requirements

Make sure your user recognizes their system supports or doesn’t support your product by requiring macOS versions, architectures (Intel or Apple Silicon), or free space.

 

Detailed Build Log

Package Builder’s build log shows you everything it’s doing so when there’s a problem, you know exactly where in the process it encountered a problem and why.

 

Multiple Choices

Need to offer multiple install choices? No problem. Add multiple packages to your installer containing different files, where each package becomes its own “choice” the user can choose to install.
