Subtitles of the Movie (Real Studio / Deploying ToDo / Deploying on Mac OS X)
Now that we have our built application, let's create various ways to deploy it on MAC OS X. It really is quite easy to deploy applications on MAC OS X, and there are three generally accepted ways to distribute your application. The first is a simple Zip file, so you could right click on your application, and pick Compress. Here you will get a Zip, typically might be named ToDo dot Zip, and you would make this file available for download. The user would unzip the file and then drag the application to their applications folder. Another common tool is a disc image. You can create those easily using this free program Easy DMG. With Easy DMG you just drag the application onto the window, let it think for a moment, and when it is complete you have a DMG file. Typically this would be named without the app extension. The user can double click a DMG file, this mounts it, and opens the window, and they can then drag the application icon to their applications folder. The last technique for MAC OS X is to create an actual installer. This is less common but can be useful if your application is more complicated and does have some support files that also need to be installed. For this we will use a free tool called Iceberg. We will create a new package project, we will call it ToDo, and we will choose where to store it. Now we can click on all the settings for the installer. We don't really need to change much, let's tweak a couple of things. The important part is to click on the files at the bottom so you can drag in our built application. We will drag it here, right on top of the applications folder, and then click Add. Now we can save our project and build it. Build is now complete. We go to the folder, and in the builds folder you will now see a ToDo dot package installer. The user can double click this, and they get the standard MAC OS X installer.
