Also I can't get my application to load images that I place

I suggest to have a look at the projects generated by SFML 
regarding locating the resources in C++/ObjC and translate 
them to C/ObjC/D.
As for code (i.e frameworks and .dylibs) i don't know as 
shared libraries are still a murky area for D. Probably just 
better to stick to static libs.
Is there an official way to turn a D executable into a Mac 
Application Bundle?
Dunno
Good luck!

Frameworks aren't an issue, I put them into the Frameworks 
folder in my hand made bundle and they load fine.
When running the executable, it loads the image when it's in 
the same folder but when running the executable through the 
bundle, it doesn't find the image anywhere.

are you loading using relative or absolute addresses ( 
../../Resources/img.png or $BUNDLE_ROOT/Resources/img.png ) ?
also check the cwd when launched from the executable vs, the 
bundle. Also does Console give any output?

I fixed it by using:
string path = thisExePath();
                int index = to!int(path.lastIndexOf("/"));
                if (!GameFont.loadFromFile(path[0 .. index]~"/vertiup2.ttf")) {
                        writeln("Font failed to load");
                }

Now my hand made bundle works fine and loads resources from 
inside the bundle.
