Hi,

I'm very new to MacOS and I want to create an Installer package for my application using Extendscript ToolKit(.jsx files and .jsxbin files) - Adobe Illustrator on MacOS High Sierra .

For the same application which i have done in Windows 10 got the Installer Package(.msi file) using "Visual Installer" .

Please help me out by knowing which tool to be used for creating Installer package on MacOS high sierra (I tried using Package(.pkg)but I'm stuck).

Also want to know how to create a .app file from these scripts (.jsx files and .jsxbin files).

If I'm wrong correct me and please do provide me the process of creating Installer package on MacOS high sierra when I'm using Extendscript ToolKit.

Yea, I use WhiteBox Packages for Mac, Inno Setup for PC. Packages is good, but the documentation is pretty bare bones and I haven't found any forums with users to answer questions so if you're trying to do something out of the ordinary it's a bit difficult. One workaround though is adding Pre/Post install shell scripts to do any operations that WhiteBox doesn't let you do out of the box. For most stuff, it's a great option!
