How do you publish an application with runtime embedded for mac osx?

Hi, I have published an app with the runtime embedded for windows, now I am trying to workout how to publish for mac osx. I have tried using the mac projector but that did not seem to run on the mac. The only thing that is working is using an air package.

How do I publish a app for mac osx with an embedded runtime?

Correct answer Colin Holgate

That works for windows but not for mac osx, I get "you can't open the application because it may be damaged or incomplete" and the app icon is crossed out.

Note: I am compiling on a windows machine


It looks like you need to be on the same platform. I can't make a standalone application for Windows on macOS, I have to use Windows 10 to do that.

Do you know anyone with a Mac?

If you make it as AIR for Desktop there is an option in the AIR Settings to make it be an application with runtime embedded:

Is the mac projector the correct method to use?

I would have thought that when publishing for desktop by selecting application with runtime embedded (under air settings) that it would also add the needed mac files.
