I.e., prior to any distribution of the bundle, be sure to do something like this:
rm "myapp.app/contents/macos/myappexec" cp -p myappexec "myapp.app/contents/macos" The executable is created back in the main project folder with a symlink pointing to it from within the .app bundle to simplify development. When you distribute you have to replace the symlink with the actual executable file.

The project layout is the following: project (executable binary) project.app (the bundle) project.app/Content/MacOS/project (symbolic link to project binary outside the bundle) When you copy the bundle via Finder, the symbolic link is copied instead of the file. So the bundle at the new location cannot be executed, because the link inside of the new bundle points to a wrong place. To solve the problem you need to replace a symbolic link in the bundle with the project binary. thanks, dmiry -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
