macOS might just be the ideal platform to distribute third-party, proprietary apps.

Just push your .app bundle with butler.

That's it.

If you need an app manifest, put your .app and the manifest in a folder, and push that one with butler.

If you really really want to do something else, read the Compatibility policy page.

...but I don't have an app bundle

How to Hackintosh Your IMac G4: You have a nice looking iMac G4? And you just can't throw it away?Then this instructable is the solution for you. But be warned: you need a lot of patience and good electronics knowledge.The problem is, that this thing is about 15 years old now.

App bundles are directories with a standardized structure and some metadata in an Info.plist file.

Here's a good stackoverflow thread on how they're created. Good luck!

Please don't push naked macOS binaries.

Support for them is disappearing a little more every macOS release.

Symbolic links and permissions

App bundles typically have symbolic links (for frameworks) and need some file permissions to be set properly.

We've taken several measures to ensure this works properly:

  • At upload time
    • butler handles symlinks, and fixes file permissions if they're wrong
  • At launch time
    • the itch.io app fixes permissions if they're wrong.

  1. I was sent a PlayMPE download link to that Hate Eternal, but for some reason Mac OS 10.5.1 really hates the program and won't let me use it. I'm gonna have to bug Metal Blade for a physical promo. ― unperson, Tuesday, 1 January 2008 02:41 (thirteen years ago) link.

  4. I had someone ask me about Mac OS 10.8. Of course, I told him about Darwin kernel, and I used an obsolete MAC OS X PowerPC and Intel Macs at school. That’s why I have been searching for a VM image of Mac OS X on the internet. That is the only way I can use it other than find very risky IBM-PC version of Mac OS 10.8.

For players that are not using the itch.io app, you might get reports of your app being 'Damaged and can't be opened' and that it should 'be moved to the trash'.

Player who do use the itch.io app do not encounter these issues, so you may want to encourage them to use it.
