Hi Wolfgang,
I had a look at your screen shots and it seemed that you may not have gone deep enough into the OS X package contents. Did you check in all the sub-folders of the package to see if your sub-stacks where hidden further down the hierarchy?
I agree that's what it looks like. Wolfgang- I build apps on OS X and distribute them to coworkers for testing. No problem. I've been doing it since Rev 1.1.1.
I humbly suggest: the problem may be that you haven't learned enough about app bundles on OS X. I recommend for everyone building on OS X to learn the layout of application bundles on OS X. It is in your control using just the Finder and a text editor! Therefore it should not prevent you from building OS X apps and distributing them in an application bundle that meets your exact requirements.
Here is a shell script I use to create my custom app bundle after the RR IDE finishes it's build. Note that everything in the script could be done with the Finder by hand instead. One step that is not shown in the shell script is editing the XML file build/NPSFacCalc/FacilityCalculator.app/Info.plist. It can be edited with a text editor or with the Apple Property List Editor (in dev tools). The Info.plist is what contains the get-info and version information for the app.
Hope this helps --Alex
